My name is Taylor Hopkins and I’ve been writing since high school. Now I’m an aerospace engineer and I’m hoping to get my first book published.

I’ve been working on this story for a long time, but I finally wrote it about two years ago. The first draft is done and I’m about half way through a second pass.

The idea for this book is the result of watching a lot of cartoons early Saturday mornings as a kid. I wanted to write an epic adventure story that pitted a hero against a powerful super villain to rival Lex Luthor or the Kingpin. I am so happy with what I arrived at. My story takes the adventurers all over the solar system in a future that includes asteroid mining and colonies on Mars and the Moon. Space Pirates Maraud and an army of mutant lizard men are grown and secret lairs must be discovered.

Please take a look at my sample chapter below. It’s the second chapter in the book and it establishes the beginnings of the overall mystery.
