About this author

I'm an Australian writer and artist, with a BA in Visual Arts. Find me at Deviant Art: http://georginaannetaylor.deviantart....

I was represented by Lyn Tranter of Australian Literary Management from 2007 to 2011, when I decided to become an 'indie writer'. The Taint: Sorrow's Child, is my first novel. I'm currently working on two books: Bewitchments and Betrayals, the second instalment in the Taint series, and Terra, a dystopian novel, set in a post-climate change Australia, in an area now known as the Blue Mountains.

I live on an organic farm in southern Tasmania, with my husband, children, dogs, ducks, goats and chooks. I enjoy listening to Nick Cave and drinking cold beer.

Georgina's Recent Updates

Georgina Taylor made a comment on her status
"Thank you! Need them at the moment."
Georgina Taylor added a status update: I have also come to the conclusion that being a self published author totally sucks. Fighting an almost overwhelming urge to un-publish my books. This idea may not be rational, so I am going to avoid the computer today. Also had to kill our youngest chick yesterday, as the hens ran it over and broke both its legs. Not a good week. :/:/:/
"Hi and welcome to the group, Marie. :):)"
Georgina Taylor added a status update: I have decided that after I finish the books in my currently-reading shelf I will no longer read/rate/review as an author. I have also deleted my 2013 reading challenge.

Best to all. :)
"Lovely Aaron! :)"

“The bloody red head emerged.
The white sheet turned crimson.
The infant sat up.
Unfurling soft, white feathered wings, the newborn demigoddess regarded the world around her with large, beguiling blue eyes. As if satisfied with what she saw, she seized her own umbilical cord between her small, sharp teeth and severed her tie with her mother with one, quick bite.”
Georgina Anne Taylor, Bewitchments and Betrayals

“The surge of his ardour swept through him in climatic release, filling her womb with his final, mortal sowing.”
Georgina Anne Taylor, The Woman of the Well

“You just got what was coming for you!" Anger stripped the niceties from her speech. Lilith spun around to face him again—her fists clenched—as if she could strike him, and wipe the sneer from his dead lips. He infuriated her. Nauseated her. Drove her mad with his mockery. Death had made him bitter, and any charm had sloughed away, along with his flesh.”
Georgina Anne Taylor, Bewitchments and Betrayals

“We're all just walking each other home.”
Ram Dass

“When in doubt, look intelligent.”
Garrison Keillor

“Music is storming, driving, relentless, devotional, slinky, subtle, heartbreakingly-beautiful sounds that, lyrically, switch from the cynical to the sanguine, the defeated to the defiant, dealing in love, war, beauty, children, romance, rejection, Pethedine, poetry, panties, God, Auden, Johnny Cash, cold potatoes, too-much-money, not enough money, writer’s block, flowers, animals and more flowers. But maybe I’m projecting here.”
Nick Cave

“What's unnatural is homophobia. Homo sapiens is the only species in all of nature that responds with hate to homosexuality.”
Alex Sanchez, The God Box

Pre GR I had real trouble finding good books to read! Now my to-read list is a living thing. I'm a lazy reviewer though. If I made myself write a review for every book, I'd just avoid it. So I often rate and run :D

A pleasure! :):) I've been in a weird reading mood lately. I'm reading five books at once. I recently finished Cinder, which I LOVED, and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was good. Oh, and The Psychopaths Test was great too (non-fiction). Best to you, looking forward to chatting more!

Lovely to meet you too, June. The warmth of QLD sounds great right now. I'm down here in frosty Tasmania. I lived in Brisbane while I obtained my Arts degree. I still miss the frangipanis, the rolling hills and the tropical weather.

Thanks about the blog! Looking forward to chatting with you more on GR. :) Gina.


message 28: by June

June Collins Thanks for contact Georgina. Lovely to hear from an Aussie. I'm up here in Qld. Love your blog.


Georgina Taylor Yes, same idea, a place where feedback can flow. Not that I will be inundating you. More feedback needed towards the end of the process.

If we work out what works or irks, beforehand, it helps a lot. I'll be sending the manuscript to my developmental editor first, then addressing rewrites, then sending it on, to all of you. It is a long process! Copy editor at the end to get everything, absolutely right.


message 26: by Sherri

Sherri Awesome! I've got that sort of thing on facebook for my friends who are helping me with my book :)


Georgina Taylor :D It's a small closed group and I'll make us all co-mods. Though it would be good. I can share future synopses in the series etc, E.M's sketches along the way, my questions for you, that sort of thing. :) Gina.
