About
Hi, I’m Nicholas Taylor, I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, possibly the greatest place on earth. I went to Dakota Ridge High and was in band– that’s right I was a band nerd and no, I don’t have any cool “one time at band camp” stories, so don’t ask.
I started writing in October of 2007. I was driving around with a friend and said “hey, I wonder if I can write a book.” So I thought I’d try and write outline and see what happens. Well, I finished the outline and I couldn’t just stop there. I needed to write chapter one and then that would be it. Do you see where this is going? Anyway, after chapter one was done, I had to finish the first book. But I wanted to get input as I went in order to write a better story. I decided to do a podcast of the first three chapters to see what people thought. After the first podcast, I decided that I wanted to continue to do it and more over, I wanted to get a larger listener base. It’s all been a wonderful journey from there.

What I'm Working On
Healer (Contractor #3)
Where I'm at: Revisions
Right now I’m working on the revisions for the next installment of the Contractor series. This story takes place right after Seeker ends, and should be a blast. I’ve enjoyed working on Healer and working on a slightly different spin to what we’ve seen so far in the Contractor books. I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys think of it when it comes out. I hope to have Healer out during first half of 2015.
Invasion on Erie Prime
Where I'm at: First Draft
This is the book that I am currently writing and is the first science fiction book I’ve written. It’s a fast paced military sci-fi novel. It’s been a total blast to write and I’m looking forward to releasing it. I haven’t completely made up my mind with how I’m going to release this book, so right now there is no tentative pub date.
Brilliance
Where I'm at: Planning
This is going to be a new Epic Fantasy series. Yay! Right now the working title for the series is Brilliance but that is likely to change. These books are in the early planning phase so I have no information at all on when they’ll be out, or how many books will be in the series. I’m looking forward to getting back to my epic roots and I hope you guys enjoy the books when they come out.
