Praise for Just One Damned Thing After Another:
A carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice . . . readers will be impatient for later installments.
Publishers Weekly, starred review
Taylor does a great job of setting up an appealing cast of characters in this new series opener, most especially the intrepid Max. There is plenty of humor, lots of action, and even a touch of romance.
Library Journal
Taylor has written a madcap and very funny hodgepodge of a novel whose pacing and humor is reminiscent of a Simon PeggEdgar Wright film.
Booklist
Danger, romance, history, financial and academic politics, hidden agendas, dangerous assignments, characters you care about, and the feeling that more is going on than you're actually reading about. I can hardly wait for book two. Just One Damned Thing After Another is a true page-turner.
SFRevu
Just One Damned Thing After Another is a novel that wastes no time getting to the good stuff . . . if character-driven stories are your cup of tea, then youll find plenty to like. Max is hilarious, and I love her spirited and crafty nature.

Her Chronicles of St. Marys, a wild mix of history, adventure, comedy, romance, tragedy, and anything else the author could think of, began as a self-published book entitled Just One Damned Thing After Another. Its now a bestselling, wildly addictive series.
