About the author

RL began his journey to become an author in unconventional fashion. Always a story teller, a friend suggested he try his hand at writing. That suggestion ignited a spark inside of him that unleashed a fire which spilled out into a notebook, and into the instant classic debut novel, The Last Ms. Understanding.

RL's journey to become one of the country's best loved authors is just beginning. His debut release has received high praise from every remote corner of the country. In 2009 he sent shockwaves through the literary world by receiving 5 Shades of Romance Magazine Readers Choice Awards including; Romance Book of the Year, Fiction Book of the Year, and New Author of the Year.

In his spare time he enjoys cooking foreign cuisine, listening to smooth jazz, and sipping on a little known microbrew. This man is unafraid to stand out in a crowd full of followers and blaze a new path of literary excellence.

His newest release Champagne, Jellybeans, and Chocolate has been called by some...the beginning of something special.

Sometimes you just couldn't believe what was going on in this town. I certainly hope this book wasn't written with any past experience in mind because that would have been an extremely creepy life. I did have to go back and read the prologue, because the ending really left you hanging, but I realized the story ends in the beginning. All in all the story was good, and I'll continue to read RL Taylor.

Good read

Good storyline. The ending was a shock in a good way. Good things happen to good people. Left from for a sequel or spin off.
