Press Release—Award-winning Author Speaks at Peregrine
AWARD-WINNING SEDONA AUTHOR SPEAKS AT PEREGRINE
Fly literary combat missions and dodge fictional asteroids with Sedona author Tony Taylor when he discusses and reads from his two award-winning novels, Counters and The Darkest Side of Saturn on Saturday, August 20th at 2 PM at the highly regarded Peregrine Book Company of Prescott, Arizona. He will sign books after the event.
Taylor's latest novel, the Darkest Side of Saturn—the story of two astronomers who discover a dangerous asteroid—won First Place for Commercial Fiction in the prestigious 2016 Eric Hoffer Book Awards contest, and was the Book of the Year in the 2015 Arizona Literary contest. Additionally, the book won a First Place and three Finalist awards in other contests.
His first novel, Counters—a tale of air combat—was short-listed for the Grand Prize in the Hoffer Book Awards, and went on to receive an Honorable Mention in the Legacy Fiction category.
Pilot, spacecraft navigator, author — Tony Taylor flew fighters in the Air Force and later navigated NASA spacecraft to all eight planets of the solar system. For insurance, in order to claim all the planets in case Pluto is promoted again, he added that one in 2015 as a member of the New Horizons Navigation Team.
