Writer of the new Borderland Mysteries, BJ Taylor is a native Texan who has dwelled in the Borderlands for decades. BJ’s first-hand experiences while living life along the Texas/Mexico border sparked a deep desire and determination to write this incredible mystery series, as well as additional stories that enlighten, thrill, educate, and captivate readers. BJ is driven by a strong will and personal quest to highlight both past and present events, and bring into focus the ongoing trials and tribulations of the Borderlands, including social, cultural, political, and economic issues. Along with having the chance to entertain and captivate readers with her memorable tales, BJ’s main intent and goal behind writing her unique, colorful characters is to advocate for a brighter future that will bring about nationwide understanding and, hopefully, acceptance of each other through our combined versatility, strength, and courage—gifts that all of humanity owns.
