I don't have much of a “career.” I don't make a lot of money off my books, but I'm very proud of what I've produced and I plan to produce even more. Starting tomorrow, ‘the sky… ‘ will be free on Kindle for five days.

I realized that a few days ago was the ten year anniversary of my first book, a slim volume of poetry called ‘the sky is black and blue like a battered child. ‘ Since then, I've had published about 9 more books as well as several short stories, poems, and even plays.

If you like scifi/SFF/vampire/thriller novels with lots of action & dry humour, mine are on Amazon in KDP eBook & paperback. Please check amazon.com/author/taggartrehnn or taggartrehnn.com for updates. #SFF #spaceopera #vampires #darkfantasy #thriller #adventure #writingcommunity #horror #BookSky 📚💙
