Welcome to the World of Raynie Taylor

Stories have always been my way of understanding the world—and helping others share theirs. I’m Raynie Taylor, author of the Primrose Eversley Mysteries and founder of RLA Publishing, where I guide writers through every step of their creative journey—from the first spark of an idea to seeing their book in readers’ hands.


Whether you’re here to dive into my novels, learn the craft of storytelling, or grow as an indie author, you’re in the right place.

I want to do something splendid… Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead… I think I shall write books.
