Brooke Taylor
Brooke Taylor lives and writes from her country home in Oklahoma where her pets are a constant, but happy, distraction. When she’s not reading or writing, she enjoys horseback riding, going to the lake, and traveling. Brooke has worked extensively in the travel industry, from dude ranches to ski resorts to cruise lines. Her many overseas adventures include sky diving in New Zealand, scuba diving with sharks, sailing through hurricanes, and having her tent attacked by wild animals in the Mara game reserve in Kenya. Due to current health insurance rates, Brooke is letting her characters do most of the risk-taking from now on.
Brooke has been previously published in Young Adult. Her novel UNDONE (Bloomsbury) made the ALA's Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers, was nominated for ALA's Best Books, and was a finalist for the National Reader's Choice Award.
