Greetings Book Lovers!
Relax, put the altogether quite crazy world we inhabit aside for a time and step into the luxurious comfort of that which is the theatre of your mind. Nice in here, isn't it? Here we celebrate the rewarding experience of imagination and of reading, and of the boundless adventure that books can bring to our lives.
I’m Thomas James Taylor, author of twelve (soon to be thirteen) novels and short story collections, attempting to reflect something of the profusion of human experience—from the intricate tapestry of real life, which often includes the more mysterious realms that many would call bizarre, and also of crime romance, the depths of philosophy, and most recently the infinite possibilities of sci-if/fantasy, which is where I, as a much younger man, fell in love with the wonderful world of literature, penned by some of the greats in their field.
For me, literature is a beacon of all that is good in mankind, as is so with any art-form. It's a sanctuary from the noise and constant distractions of modern life, and a reminder of what it means to be human. In an era overwhelmed by fleeting content and misinformation, books remain steadfast—a source of truth, of inspiration, of critical thought and of the inexhaustible richness and the power found in human imagination.
Whether you're a lifelong reader, or just now beginning the journey, I am please that you dropped by. So allow me tempt you. Here are stories crafted to surprise, challenge, and, I hope, captivate, with every page offering an opportunity to step beyond the so often narrow confines of what our everyday world offers and tells us about ourselves: the world we actually inhabit.
Grab your favourite drink (or other preferred substance), settle somewhere quiet and comfortable, and let’s explore the greater diversity of experience offered by life itself, and by the imagination, which, I would contend, is exactly the same thing.
