G.P. Taylor

GP Taylor, who was born in Scarborough, North Yorkshire in 1958, is a renowned author, best known for his best-selling novels such as Shadowmancer, Wormwood, and Tersias. Before becoming a full-time writer, Taylor served as an Anglican vicar in the village of Cloughton, North Yorkshire. Taylor's faith is a significant influence in his works, and they often carry Christian messages, much like C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia.

Taylor began writing with the intention of providing an alternative to the increasing number of works that he felt were promoting the occult, such as Harry Potter and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. His books have been popular among readers, but they have also sparked controversy. While Taylor has claimed to be an authority on Wicca and paganism, some neopagans have taken offense to his descriptions of their beliefs as being deceived by the Devil. Despite the controversy, Taylor's works have remained popular, and he has established himself as a significant voice in contemporary Christian literature.

Taylor's writing style is unique, and he has a knack for creating vivid and imaginative worlds that captivate his readers. His characters are well-developed, and he explores complex themes such as good and evil, faith, and redemption. Taylor's ability to weave Christian messages into his stories in a subtle and engaging way has made his works accessible to a broad audience, and his books continue to be popular among readers of all ages.
