Karen E. Taylor

Karen E. Taylor is the author of "The Vampire Legacy" Series of novels, published by Kensington Books. A voracious reader of vampire/horror novels, Karen first started writing "Blood Secrets" in January, 1988. She conceived of writing the novel while living across the street from a very large cemetery. It was never intended to be the first book of an ongoing series, but fans who had read the novel demanded a sequel. To date, the series stands at seven titles, and has earned a cult following. Her short stories have appeared in numerous anthologies, including: "Love Bites", "100 Vicious Little Vampires", "100 Wicked Little Witches", "A Horror Story A Day", and "Seductive Spectres". In 2001, she was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for best short story for "Mexican Moon".

Karen E. Taylor was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. A graduate of Churchill area High School and later of Grove City College, her first love was the theater, but now she admits that writing is better; "You get to write all the lines and play all the parts." She currently resides outside of Los Angeles, CA with her husband and pets.
