Jodi Taylor is, and always has been, a history nut. Her Chronicles of St. Mary's, a wild mix of history, adventure, comedy, romance, tragedy, and anything else the author could think of, began as a self-published book called Just One Damned Thing After Another. It's now a bestselling, wildly addictive series.
Praise for Jodi Taylor and The Chronicles of St. Mary's Series "A
carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel
thrown in for spice . . . readers will be impatient for later
installments."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review "Taylor does a great job of
setting up an appealing cast of characters in this new series
opener, most especially the intrepid Max. There is plenty of humor,
lots of action, and even a touch of romance."
--Library Journal "Taylor has written a madcap and very funny
hodgepodge of a novel whose pacing and humor is reminiscent of a
Simon Pegg-Edgar Wright film."
--Booklist "Danger, romance, history, financial and academic
politics, hidden agendas, dangerous assignments, characters you
care about, and the feeling that more is going on than you're
actually reading about. I can hardly wait for book two. Just One
Damned Thing After Another is a true page-turner."
--SFRevu "Just One Damned Thing After Another is a novel that
wastes no time getting to the good stuff . . . if character-driven
stories are your cup of tea, then you'll find plenty to like. Max
is hilarious, and I love her spirited and crafty nature."
--The Bibliosanctum "What a mess. A glorious, glorious mess. Let no
one ever say that Just One Damned Thing After Another is a book
that fails to live up to its title . . . . These books are so
perfectly bingeable."
--B&N Sci-fi Blog "Max is a thoroughly hilarious and confident
narrator and the sense of real danger, interspersed with copious
amounts of tea, pervades the story. This is the kind of book that
you walk away from believing in time travel."
--Manhattan Book Review "If you're a fan of time travel, or if
you're a fan of madcap British comedies, or better yet if you're a
fan of both, then you'll want to check out The Chronicles of St.
Mary's."
--Adventures Fantastic "The book can't be put down, and I loved
every minute. Seven books in the series have been published in
Great Britain and this first book is now being published in the
U.S. I look forward to reading them all."
--YA Lit Ramblings "The writing was witty and fun, and kept making
me smile page after page. . . . Max is a brilliant character, the
kind of character you root for, faults and all."
--All Things Urban Fantasy "Jodi Taylor doesn't do things the
conventional way."
--Catherine Scott, Yorkshire Post
