It’s incredible to think that Jodi didn’t publish her first book until she was 60. She says “I've been writing now for ten years and can't believe how quickly the time has flown. Proof - should anyone require it - that life begins at 60 - and you're never too old to move your life in a completely different direction. Best wishes to everyone out there and enjoy the book!”
Please leave a comment and show her how much you appreciate her books
There was lots of fun and laughter at the sell-out event at Battersea Bookshop for the launch of Killing Time. Jodi Taylor answered lots of questions and avoided answering others! CLICK HERE to enjoy the full video.
Signed copies are now available for order and we ship worldwide.

In an alternate universe, Jodi never wrote that first book. The rest of us are sad, with empty hearts and lives that seem hollow, but we're not sure why.
So happy Jodi Taylor is in our universe! Thank you for every single fabulous book, Jodi! 💖
Thank you for so much!
