J. M. Taylor

J. M. Taylor is the author of the award-winning south Florida thrillers, GULF WINDS and LOST KEY, and the international thriller DESERT WINDS. Closer to home, GULF WINDS introduced Homosassa fishing guide and Iraq combat veteran Uly Grant to bribery, terrorism and romance on Florida’s Gulf coast along with Uly’s trusted companion, Flash the retired greyhound.

Taylor's WWII STICK Trilogy follows the Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division from D-Day to Holland, on to the Battle of the Bulge, and finally the defense of Bastogne. The three books: MISSING STICKS, ONE STICK AND A WACO and SNOW STICKS, also feature Max, a German Shepherd, as a brave and true friend of the Screaming Eagles, along with an OSS Jedburgh team, Resistance fighters, a Redtail pilot, a medevac nurse and many more, all woven together in the style of W. E. B. Griffin and Tom Clancy.

NEW: TARGET KYIV - a suspense-filled thriller that drags Matt Ross from basking in the Florida sun to deal with the nuclear threat not only to the Ukrainian military and civilians, but also the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team at Chernobyl. Along the way Ross picks up a new side-kick - Ulf - a brindle Dutch Shepherd bomb detection dog- and, oh, yes, rescues a family from Russian kidnappers.

Combining his experiences as a paratrooper, nuclear weapons specialist and operations research analyst with travels in the Far and Middle East, Europe and the States, Taylor packs a ton of adventure into action-filled page-turners. Taylor originally was published with a small press and was a pioneer in independent publishing.
