About The Author: D.M. Taylor is a full-time writer  with a constant desire to be at the beach or as close to a combination  of: water, sand, and sunshine as she can. You can tell by looking at all  of the freckles she has collected as evidence.  If she's not writing in  her tiny cottage by the lake, then it's not summer. The rest of the  year, she's writing on her couch under blankets near a giant bay window.  On the less romantic days of writing, and let's be real-most of them,  her pages come together while waiting in a car for one of her kids-as  part of her chauffeur gig.
Her gravitational pull to science fiction,  developed throughout her teacher training; where she concentrated on  science education. Graduating from Michigan Tech with an Applied Science  Master's Degree jump started her geeky interests. An obsession of time  travel pushed through her romantic notions of the world and the easy  fear she holds of anything frightening. Together, these elements created  a writer of: sci-fi thrillers who sprinkles in a bit of slow  burn.  Accruing in her head is a checklist of places to travel, items to  accomplish, and book ideas to write.
She regenerates from deep conversation, laughter, and dancing.
