We need to find a way to explain it's not the abstract concept of nature we're trying to save. It's our very existence. We need those trees, we need that water to survive.

BOOKS by Kate Taylor


cover of Kate Taylor's dystopian fiction novel WHEN THE LAST TREE DIES A coordinated attack by doomsday cultists on the urban wasteland of Mercanto Valley leaves it uninhabitable. The traumatized survivors escape to the high mountains of the Capucin wilderness. As they begin to rebuild their lives, the survivors must get along not only with each other, but with long-established communities in the hills. They must also deal with remnants of the cult that brought about the destruction, and who now seek to gain power over all of them.

"Each tree shapes a piece of us. It holds us forever, like a shared breath. We are the forest. We are everyone who ever shared its breath. If the forest dies, the trees die. Then we die."     WHEN THE LAST TREE DIES

"RiverHome believes our piece of the universe is composed of multiple vibrations. It only makes sense then that music is the purest form of communication. It is a language with many purposes. In the right hands, it can do good. In the wrong hands, great evil."     WHEN THE LAST RIVER DIES

cover of Kate Taylor's dystopian fiction novel WHEN THE LAST OCEAN DIES A year after the Great Sickness forced the villages of River Valley into isolation, the quarantine is finally lifted. Aquia, the adopted son of Anahita’s spiritual leader, and Yewen, a former monk from the Monastery of the Trees, are sent to tabulate the living and the dead, and to gather their stories for the official ledgers. But the world they were sent to record no longer exists. They discover entire villages died from the sickness, while others survived by isolating themselves even from each other. The further they travel, the more they learn about the survivors and their villages through their art, their music, and their spiritual changes. And soon, their experiences begin to change them as well, and they start to question everything they once knew as true.

“They believe the purpose of the SpinyWort is to pry open the cracks of awareness, to expose the truths we ignore. Many of the healers believe all knowledge, all facts, all the basics of life itself do not change. They believe truth is static, and it’s our perceptions that change. They say the Spiny Wort exists to show us another path to access that change. How and if we choose to walk upon it is our choice, and our choice is not their concern."     WHEN THE LAST OCEAN DIES

Poetry by Kate Taylor


cover of Kate Taylor's book of poetry IMAGINARY LOVERS Poems about relationships, passionate encounters, moments of desire, foolish choices, wise interludes, the pain of loss, the healing balm of remembrance, and the enduring power of love.

More than anything these poems teach us that love writes its own story, and memory is a fragile butterfly trapped in the wistfulness of time.

" You traced the line of my soul
and showed me it was all one line
all one journey."
