CHRIS COAD TAYLOR writes multiple genres, which include suspense/mystery, psychological thrillers, romantic/suspense, and non-fiction. Her fictional style of writing is character-driven, which makes her books as diverse as the people within them, which allows her readers an intensely personal connection to the stories.
She follows the belief of the late film director, Alfred Hitchcock. He believed that “your audience does not need bloody details”—and that—“suspense builds better in the minds of your audience.”
Taylor gives only enough detail to the crimes in her novels while planting clues along the way. Romantic scenes are written with enough spice that will keep you captivated but not embarrassed.
She has two series: the Amber series (set in Ybor City and Tampa) and The Havenridge Mystery series (set in a small town in Georgia) and her non-fiction WWII book titled: Heroes: Voices of History, which is written in a creative non-fiction style, reads more like a novel that of a dry history book puts a face to history with personal accounts from WWII veterans and their families.
While not writing, Taylor enjoys traveling, painting, and fine art photography. She lives in Florida not far from the Nature Coast with her husband and their beagle named, Mikey.
