The Best Books Nobody Knows About

I may be a little biased because I wrote them, but I’ve written some really fun books that don’t get a lot of exposure. I think part of my problem is that I share the same name as the most famous darts player in the history of the world, Phil Taylor. When people search for “Phil Taylor books” on Amazon, a list of his books show up. Since I never promote myself, I will take this one time to ask that you consider an underrated indie author, instead of whatever popular genre names are on the New York Times list. If you enjoy my humorous musings here at ThePhilFactor, I think you’ll love my books.

Escaping a serial killer has never been this much fun! Remember when you were a kid and you had that one magical summer that seemed to last a lifetime? Cooper, Gooby, Chuck, Cliff and Bolo don’t know it, but they are in the midst of a summer they will never forget. Their small town is paralyzed with fear as a serial killer preys upon children and The Golden Boys seem to be the only ones who have a chance to stop him. A life-long bond is forged between them as they confront each other, their worst fears and a killer that is more than anyone could possibly imagine. Only $2.99 for the Kindle edition, $12.99 for the paperback.
Who says you have to grow up? Middle age is more fun than you think!
This is the sequel to The Sneaker Tree, also available on Amazon in Kindle or paperback.  The Golden Boys may be older, but definitely not wiser. They return to their hometown for a funeral and what had been a pleasant, albeit melancholy, reunion quickly escalates into a fight for their lives with an enemy they didn’t know they had. Putting up with each others quirks with good humor, they must unravel a mystery that started thirty years ago. The question is not whether they will survive the bad guys, but will they survive each other? One reader likened the characters to “the kids from Stephen King’s classic ‘Stand By Me‘ but grown up and on cocaine.” This story will make you miss those goofy high school friends from years ago.
Albert Einstein never imagined time travel like this! 
The truth is just the lie we’ve chosen to believe, and yours may be different than mine. Remember that time you dated that complete nutcase and said to yourself, I wish Future Me would have come back and warned me about this. Remember when you and your drunk friends said, “If it’s such a bad idea, someone would come back from the future and stop us.” What if somebody did?

Landon Bridges’ life hasn’t always been perfect, but now he’s in college and determined to make a fresh start and transform himself from high school geek to college chic…well less geeky guy.  He’s met the girl of his dreams and made friends with some of the cool frat guys. Things are going great, until He shows up.

Time To Lie on Amazon This book is also available on Audible. (Btw, I have the bloody hand clock from the cover tattooed on my body somewhere)

The Last Locked Door (at the end of the Universe) 
Landon barely survived his freshman year at college, and he’s discovering that he has only scratched the surface of his time traveling powers. He plans to do good with his newfound powers, but a murderous pair of mystery men would kill to stop him.

His hilarious friends are back with him for his sophomore year at college and as he’s making new friends, he’s also learning that no one can be trusted, maybe not even those in his inner circle.

Landon meets a beguiling but mysterious girl who intrigues him with the possibility that she can see inside his soul and into the future.
There’s treachery at every turn and Landon is in a time traveling fight for his life. He knows that he can’t do this alone, but who can he trust?

Excerpts from pre-release reader reviews:

Wonderful Sequel by Phil Taylor! This was such a great read! I literally could not put this book down. It was funny, creative, dramatic and sarcastic all rolled into one. The author really knows how to connect the characters with the reader. I cared about each and everyone of them right from the start.
