In short—nearly all of them. The historical vignettes in The Medici Letters were based off actual documented accounts.

AQUEOUS: A Subterranean Thriller is coming soon!




Hi, Goodreads friends. I'm pleased to announce I will be releasing another book later this month titled Aqueous.
Aqueous explores various subject matter I’m extremely interested in—the origins of life, the connection between humans and the earth, why humans have blood types, and the mysterious frontier beneath our feet. The story is a fast-moving psychological thriller that intentionally weaves tro Read more of this blog post »

AQUEOUS by Taylor Buck
"A truly unique thriller!

Aqueous is a sci-fi/horror thriller that's truly different from others available. Think about Michael Crichton's 'Prey' meets Jeff VanderMeer's 'Annihilation' + a hefty dose of psychedelia, yet entirely different from either. " Read more of this review »
