Devon Taylor was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, and currently lives in Pennsylvania with his wife and two daughters. His day job consists of sneaking around the house with ninja-like stealth to avoid waking up his kids. When not writing, reading, or tediously typing out text messages with all the correct spelling and punctuation, he spends his time with his family. The Soul Keepers is his first novel.
Praise for The Soul Keepers
"A fantastic high-stakes adventure on a ghost ship sailing forever
into eternity, where every soul is (literally) worth fighting
for--what's not to love? Devon Taylor weaves an endearing tale
of friendship and loss with heart-stopping action and a whole lot
of terrifying monsters. You'll root for Rhett and his fellow
reapers through every twist and turn!" --Rin Chupeco, author of
The Bone Witch and The Girl from the Well
"This pirate thriller starts off running and doesn't stop,
but the relationships between Rhett and his new companions--all
young like himself--mirror the reality of the adolescent need for
acceptance in a way that transcends entertainment. Rhett may be
only 17, but he matures beyond his youth as he finds purpose in the
meaningfulness of his work. ... This series starter will please
teens who enjoy the ghostly tales and dark sarcasm of Neil Gaiman
and Ransom Riggs." --School Library Journal"With thrilling
action, lovable characters, and wildly original world-building, The
Soul Keepers is an absolute delight!" --Andrew Shvarts,
author of Royal Bastards
"Debut novelist Taylor has a way with words ... He presents
an interesting twist on the world we know, which should appeal to
teen readers looking for the fun of piracy with the spook of a good
ghost story." --Booklist"I was on the edge of my seat straight
through Soul Keepers! The universe just sucks you in and refuses to
spit you back out. I can honestly say there's nothing else quite
like it out there. I loved this book and I can't wait to read
it again!!!" --Lillian, reader on SwoonReads.com"Definitely
different from anything I've ever read before, and I've read
a lot of books." --Rachel Carrington, reader on SwoonReads.com
