LEE ANDREW TAYLOR – WRITER’S BIO TO DATE -
Lee Andrew Taylor was born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK, in 1969, moving to Bedworth, Warwickshire at the age of 9. All his life he's had a passion for creating things, whether it was new games to play with family and friends, drawing, or creating a story.
It was 1993 when Lee first dabbled in writing as an adult. He was at college when someone asked if he would enter a writing contest with other students. He agreed, and that's when the first idea for his killer rats novel - The S.T.A.R.S Project - came about. He wrote around 30 pages and kept the story safe, but in August 2018 it was released on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback, Hardback & Audio.
In 1999, at the age of 30, Lee bought his first computer from a friend and immediately got down to writing a story that was growing inside his head from when he watched his first zombie movie as a child. CLIFTON FALLS - was originally finished in 2001, but wasn't released until around 2011. Lee has since re-released it as a 2-part novel with added scenes. Part 1 was released in May 2021 in Kindle, Paperback, Hardback, & Audio, with part 2 being released in July 2022.
Part 3 of CLIFTON FALLS was released in October 2023. It is available in Kindle, Paperback, Hardback, & as an Audiobook.
Lee is planning to write the final part of Clifton Falls in 2024.
Lee has also written - BEDBUGS (Can you see them?) - A story based on his childhood fear of the old saying - Night, night, sleep tight & don't let the bedbugs bite - Where he thought the bedbugs were really going to bite him if he didn't sleep tight.
It was originally released in 2012, but was re-released with extra scenes in July 2020.
In 2015, Lee received a phone call from a movie Producer/Director, asking him to write a Vampire horror/dark comedy screenplay. At that time, Lee hadn't written a screenplay before, but as he writes stories that take readers into his imaginary world, he gave it a go. He wrote the screenplay in 6 weeks. He was grateful for the opportunity. Since then, Lee has written 13 screenplays with some being optioned by movie Producers.
He's had conversations with the likes of Elijah Wood's (Lord of the Rings) & Joe Dante's ( Director of Gremlins) production companies about some of his scripts and has even spoken to Anthony C Ferrante (Director of the Sharknado movies) on Skype about his Bedbugs idea.
In 2019, Lee was hired to write a sci-fi, horror TV pilot for Dark Image Studios in the UK, where he received a letter of recommendation for his professional attitude and ability to write a story based on a one paragraph idea.
In 2023, Lee's ghost story screenplay - RECALL - was optioned by a British Producer. He is hoping to see it turned it into a movie.
So far in 2024, Lee has been speaking with a Producer in Canada about his zombie novel series - CLIFTON FALLS - There has been interest in it & a few of his horror screenplays.
