The Mariah Mundi Series
Taylor has written a 3 book series on Mariah Mundi and his companions Captain Jack Charity and Sacha. Mariah becomes involved with the Bureau of Antiquities, an alleged secret part of the government that deals with all things supernatural. The first book in the series, Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box, involves a capturing plot on a box that has the power to turn things to gold, while the second, Mariah Mundi and the Ghost Diamonds, follows a sequel pattern about the mysterious Ghost Diamonds. The third, Mariah Mundi and the Ship of Fools, follow the storyline of Mariah and Charity trapped aboard a doomed ship half way across the Atlantic Ocean with only a mad marquis, a dodgy inventor, and their odd families for company.
In 2008 Taylor signed a deal with film production company Entertainment Motion Pictures (E-Motion) to make a film of the first in the series - 'Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box'. This film is currently in development. In March 2012 it was announced that the film would star Michael Sheen, Lena Heady, Sam Niall and Ioan Gruffudd. Filming is due to start in Bath and Bristol on 30 April 2012, and then continue in Scarborough. It has also been announced that Shadowmancer is also to be filmed as a 2 x 90 minute mini series for TV.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
