Kerry Taylor's Blog

Hi,

Seeking new books to read this weekend? Any recommendations?

1. What type of books do you write? Young adult and children but tried a historical fiction book about Richard the Lionheart. I love the Robin Hood movies and thought that no one hardly ever mentions Richard the King.

2. What is the latest book you have written? Richard the Lionheart is the last one I had published, but I have another one I am editing before sending it in to be published. Richard should be available on E book very soon.
On Sale, at Amazon and different book stores

3. Is it part of a series, if so which one?
No, but I thought about writing a series of historical fiction books about kings and queens but not completely sure yet.

4. When did you start writing?
I would say about two years ago I got into writing full time, but I have written poems when i was still in high school.

5. Why did you start writing?
I took up writing two years ago when my son left home for the Air Force.

6. Who are your influences?
My main writing influence would be Danielle Steel. She has accomplished so much as an author and at a time when hardly no one was writing.

7. What can we expect from you in the near future? Book signing events, other details.
I have an author book signing scheduled for Birmingham in Feburary where there will be over 100 authors present. Other than that, I just completed two other signings last week. I am always open to new venues. As to where I hope to be in the near future is at my computer writing more and more books. I have many more books in me still.
Further information is on my website

4. When did you start writing?
I began writing at the age of 16. Started publishing at 30.

5. Why did you start writing?
My sister gave me a journal for my 16th birthday. She knew I had something to say but I refused to talk to anyone about what I was going through. She suggested that I write my feelings down instead of keeping them bottled up.

6. Who are your influences?
Pretty much anyone I've come in contact with has influenced my writing. Sometimes it takes a while for me to learn the lesson but everyone I know has taught me how to get through this thing called Life.

7. What can we expect from you in the near future?
My main focus is releasing my SistaGirlz series. As the storyline progresses, my readers will see how the characters grow up and learn from what they're going through together. Once I publish the paperback editions of my books, I plan to have book signing events, book giveaways and book tours. At the moment, I've been giving away ebooks to help spread the word about my SistaGirlz series.

1. What type of books do you write?

I typically write dark, twisted fiction with a comical edge. Whether it’s fantasy, horror or something in between. My two recent books, the ones that are currently available on Amazon, are nothing of the sort. “An Idiot in Love” is an out-and-out comedy; “The Line, the Itch and the Rabbit Hole” is a memoir. I needed a change, and I really like the results, but I will be returning to my usual genres now.

2. What is the latest book you have written?
“An Idiot in Love” is a fictional biography from the perspective of Kieran McCall, a persistently unlucky idiot who has failed to catch any breaks in life or love. It’s a rom-com from the male side.

3. When did you start writing?
I started writing nearly ten years ago, when I was 18. I had “dabbled” many years before that when I was 10 or 11, but it wasn’t until I was 18 when things became serious after my first short story was published in a local rag.
4. Why did you start to write?
I’d always loved to read and had a wicked imagination.
5. Who are your influences?
Philip K. Dick. Terry Pratchett and Stephen King. The fact that they write in three completely different genres probably has something to do with my own genre-indecisiveness.
6. What can we expect from you in the immediate future?
It’s only been a few weeks since the first book was published, so I’m not really sure what will happen from here. I guess I just cross my fingers and keep on promoting.
Further details will be updated on my blog

A book of poetry written at each stage of my life. Childhood, University Student, Mother, Married, Separation and a Single Mother. Life is tough for everyone. I believe that everyone has struggled through one aspect of their life, others every aspect. I do have faith that one day, it will get better and the journey will end with a stronger, wiser woman at the end of it.

Life can get you down, but it is how you deal with these struggles that make you the person you are today. I find writing helps me deal with every aspect of my life. The pleasant experiences are written so that I can turn back and be grateful for the things I have achieved in life. The unpleasant experiences are written, so I can overcome them and deal with the problems that I am facing at the moment. I am publishing these personal parts of my life, to help others see that they are not alone. I am not an expert in any domain, I have not succeeded in any aspect of my life, but I try to learn from my mistakes and in turn, I have become wiser. Knowledge gained by experience, rather than through a book or education. Therefore, take this journey with me, through every aspect of my life, the highs, lows and the inbetweens.

1. What type of books do you write?
I write a variety of genre fantasy with a proclivity for dark themes, ie urban, dystopian, contemporary, and high fantasy.

2. What is the latest book, you have written?
Most recently wrote "White Leaves" book one of the E.L.F. (Earth Liberation Front) series.Publication with JukePopSerial

3. Is it part of a series?
It is book one/part of an Urban/dystopian fantasy series "E.L.F."

4. When did you start writing?
I began writing upon graduating high school in 2000.

5. Why did you start to write?
I started because after high school i realized h.s. hadn't prepared me for life at all, and after considering my options as for a path in life, i realized writing wasthe only thing i could picture myself doing for the rest of my life. And, because everyone always told me that my father, who passed away when i was in my early teens, should've been a writer.

6. Who are your influeneces?
My greatest influence was Terry Brooks(Shannara Series), but I am also influenced by many of the great fantasy writers, Tolkien, Goodkind, etc. As well as modern creators like the Waichowski brothers. Dark and edgy, and generally mind blowing.

7. What do you have planned for the future, book signings etc.
As for the near future, I'm currently focused on finishing releasing my Serial version of E.L.F. -White Leaves, still plenty of chapters to go. I hope to release it as an ebook, pick up an agent and get it released with a traditional publishing house, because I really want that hard copy paperback. But I am also looking into perhaps transcribing it back into a screenplay, because im a very visual writer. I see it as film for the big screen. Other than that, I am working on the sequel to White Leaves. Book two of E.L.F. will be entitled, Blighted Leaves. But there will be more to follow.
