First novel published by local author Taylor Starnes
Taylor Starnes is a Bluffton area stay at home mom with two daughters and 10 years of experience as a short story writer. In November 2023 she released the novel Hard Chargin' Love on Amazon.com.
Starnes plans to make this the first installment in a 3-part series. Amazon says that the author “takes classic romance and gives it her own unique zing.”
The Starnes family has been in Bluffton almost a year, and live in "an old (but perfect) farmhouse" outside of town. Her husband Joe flies for PSA airlines out of Dayton.
