edit data

Keith Taylor is the true identity of the million plus selling author behind the pen names Aya Fukunishi and K A Taylor, who toiled for years writing bizarrely popular romance novels while he secretly longed to return to his true calling: explosively awesome post-apocalyptic fiction.

Keith hails from the rainy suburbs of Manchester in the north of England. He lives with his wife, Otgontsetseg, and splits his time between Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and Bangkok, Thailand. He survives on a diet of meat, cheese, beer and cigarettes, and he probably shouldn't still be alive.

For news about upcoming releases, sales and various other nonsense you can follow Keith on Facebook or subscribe to his mailing list.

Quotes by Keith Taylor (?)

“That was just the reality in the capital, and the problem is that it all became a little like the way people misused the word ‘literally’ when they really meant ‘figuratively’, and they did it so much that eventually even the dictionary gave up the battle as lost.”
― Keith Taylor, Cordyceps

“I've got a bunch of paint brushes and a sandwich I brought from home. I didn't come tooled up for the end of the world, y'know? You can bet they're dealing with it better in the south, that's for sure.”
― Keith Taylor, Hunger
