edit data

Tayla McLean is a Texas-based writer and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree. Writing has been a passion of hers since childhood, sparked by her mother’s encouragement and guidance. Her mother, a writer herself, helped Tayla craft stories even before she could write on her own, fostering a lifelong love for storytelling.

While Tayla enjoys exploring a variety of genres, including fantasy and sci-fi, her favorite stories often weave in elements of romance. Her first completed novel, The Cry of an Angel, holds a special place in her heart, though it’s far from her first story idea. Currently, she is working on the final book in the series, along with a few other unrelated projects, hoping to bring them to life in the near future.
