Baltimore native Kyle Taylor’s Book: “In Search Of…” is an entertaining collection of short stories filled with characters searching for the things they desire most in life— be it vengeance, fame or a fabled treasure, they are determined to do what they must in their search for it. How far is one willing to go to attain that which they seek? For each of them, the journey is just as crucial as the destination.

Kyle S. Taylor, Baltimore native and author of “In Search Of…”
“The Coldest Winter” features a character searching for an explanation as to why he is suddenly compelled to visit the grave of a loved one, something he has deliberately avoided doing for years.
In “The Savior of the City,” the protagonist was forced to deal with overnight fame and fortune. But when it begins to fade, he searches for a way to reclaim it, as he has become addicted to it.
In both “The Letter to Erik” and its response, “The Letter to Charles,” both authors seek understanding from the other as they have conflicting ideologies on how to address the many issues facing black men, women, and children in America.
Whether it be, the location of a fabled treasure (“The Water of Life”), revenge (“The Last Kiss”), or fame (“The Savior of the City”), each protagonist is longing for something that they feel will make their lives whole, and living worthwhile.
