Taylor has been writing since the tender age of seven, when her mother bought her her first typewriter. Once she finished her first work, a tall tale about a girl with hair that grew too fast, her father told her she should be published. And so, her lifelong dream of becoming a published writer was born. 

​

Taylor never thought of herself as a romance writer, but it turns out, she loves love. 

​

When she's not chasing her kids, watching Impractical Jokers with her husband, running, or playing around with her two pups, she's probably under her favorite blanket, either writing a book, or reading one. 

​

Taylor lives in Maryland, where she was born and raised. 

​

​

​
