Michael Taylor

Grew up in Pennsylvania. Earned my BA in English and Master of Education from Bloomsburg University of PA.

I began my teaching career in Sarasota, FL, moved back to PA and taught cyber school, and then, missing the classroom atmosphere and student interaction, began teaching in Frederick, MD.

I've lived in PA, NY, NV, FL, and MD. Who knows where the future will take me or if I'm going to settle down where I am now. The world is just too exciting to sit still for too long.

I've been writing since I was in Junior High School. I was inspired by the soap operas that my mother watched.

My first book, Survival of the Fittest, was written for my students in Frederick, MD to encourage the kids to want to read. I felt that by giving the students a chance to critique my writing, they would find a love of reading. Did it work? I have to say, YES!

I have a second series, The World Beyond, that I began while teaching in Florida. I hope to have the first book released in early 2012.
