Writer. Mostly amused. A little haunted.

Jami Taylor is the author of The Magic of Fireflies, a historical novel inspired by the true story of Virginia's only convicted witch in 1706, and Beneath the Splendor, a gripping tale of murder in the antebellum south. She has also published the short horror stories "The Soothsayer" and "Don't Let Go" in addition to the Victorian-era steampunk mystery Secrets of the Mechanical Heart, and her fantasy series Violet of Ravenwood. 

She is an avid reader of the cool and interesting, an optimist, and a lover of books, ghost stories, gardens, enchanted forests, cottages, and witchy things. When not writing, she is a full-time Humanities faculty member at a local college in southeastern Virginia where she also lives with her husband, daughter, two spoiled dogs, and two mischievous cats. If she could fit a Friesian horse in her backyard, she would definitely have one.
