Who Is Karen E. Taylor?

Updated

Karen E. Taylor is an American author best known for The Vampire Legacy Series, a seven-book vampire fiction series that she is re-releasing in 2024 and 2025 to mark its 30th anniversary. Her official website, karenetaylor.com, describes her as "author, streamer, red-headed stepchild" and serves as the hub for her books, buying links, and signed-copy offers.

What she's known for

Taylor's primary published work is The Vampire Legacy Series, a seven-novel run of vampire fiction. According to her official site, all seven novels are now available together in a single ebook collection, with cover design by Jeffrey Kosh Graphics.

The series is in the middle of a re-release tied to its 30th anniversary, spanning 2024 and 2025. At the time of the site's current content, the first seven books are available at Amazon.com in three formats:

  • E-book
  • Paperback
  • Hardcover

Audiobooks are listed as "available soon," meaning they were not yet released when that page content was published.

How she describes herself

The site's heading labels her as an "author, streamer, red-headed stepchild." The first two are straightforward — she writes fiction and streams — while the third is a self-deprecating phrase she uses as part of her public persona rather than a formal title. If you're trying to place her, the author-and-streamer combination is the useful part; the rest is branding.

Where to find and buy her books

karenetaylor.com is her official site and the central place she points readers to. From there:

What you want Where it's listed
E-book, paperback, hardcover editions Amazon.com
All seven novels in one ebook Listed as available now on the official site
Autographed copies "Buy Autographed Copies" link on the official site
Audiobooks Announced as coming soon

The site uses "Buy Now" links for the individual books, plus a separate option for autographed copies — useful if you want a signed edition rather than a standard retail copy.

What to check before buying

Because the series is being re-released across 2024–2025, editions and availability can shift. Before purchasing, confirm on the official site or the Amazon listing:

  • Whether you're getting a re-released edition or an older printing
  • Which format you actually want (the ebook omnibus versus individual paperbacks or hardcovers)
  • Whether audiobooks have moved from "coming soon" to available
  • Whether autographed copies are in stock, since signed stock is typically more limited than standard retail

If your goal is simply to read the series in order, the seven-book ebook collection is the most direct route. If you want physical or signed books, go through the specific links on karenetaylor.com rather than assuming a single retailer carries every format.
