Mark Stephen Taylor

A National award-winning Christian writer, Mark Stephen Taylor is what you might call an 'author on the road' (be sure to check out his VIDEO on this author's page, or via YouTube). Since his retirement from law enforcement in 1994, he has hiked much of the High Sierra mountain range of California and explored the vast deserts of the American Southwest. He has also spent time among the Native Americans. His experiences and knowledge have earned him a writing style that is indeed unique. His books include both fiction and non-fiction works—there's something of interest for everyone. Three of his stories on the early American West are now in superbly narrated audio versions, with outstanding background sound effects. His book tours also allow him to meet with many people on a personal level, and share with them his obvious wisdom and insight. Mr. Taylor was educated in criminal psychology and geology, and is currently a Biblical teacher and counselor. His award-winning autobiography, 'Hiking the Trail of Truth', is perhaps one of the most informative books ever written on the subject of 'knowing God through His creation'. Each of his varied works, both fiction and non-fiction alike, have generated outstanding reviews. He's always out there; hiking around somewhere in the west and working on something new. Mr. Taylor does occasional weekend book signings (weather permitting) at the 'Lone Pine Rock and Gift Shop', and also at the 'Lone Star Bistro', a most unique coffee shop, both signing locations located in Lone Pine, California, at the base of Mt. Whitney. Information on contacting Mr. Taylor personally can be found within any of his books. He claims to be nobody special, and loves to hear from his readers.
