Well, hello there. Nice of you to drop by.
I’m Brey Willows, and I write sapphic sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, and paranormal fiction.
Under the name Ally McGuire, I write sapphic romance with all the feels.
And under JJ Taylor, I write mainstream Greek myth retellings.
Yes, I love stories in all their forms and I never stop thinking of them.
Out in February, 2024. Are you ready for a new myth retelling?
“Taylor nails it with their storytelling – the world they create is so vivid, drawing me into the sights, sounds and feelings of the characters. It’s a captivating read that I wasn’t ready to finish.” ~Laurie Aycock, Librarian
“Author JJ Taylor has crafted a thrilling and atmospheric work that reimagines Medea in a stirring, active fashion, presenting her as a multidimensional character grappling with societal expectations, divine forces, and her own quest for freedom.” ~KC Finn, Readers’ Favorite
“Brey Willows is at her best when she’s imagining and creating new worlds for us to enjoy. Dark Haven is no exception; with a hot butch/femme pairing, oodles of sharp humour, fantastic banter, and a cracking cast of side characters, this is one of the best lesbian vampire novels ever.”
Robyn Nyx, author
“The vampire lore was well thought out and the characters are strong and interesting. There’s lots of adventure, danger and intrigue as well as the romance.“
Margaret Burris
“Beautifully written with the mythology interwoven with the angst and emotions of a real woman, I can’t recommend this highly enough.” ~EV Bancroft, award winning author
“I was endlessly captivated reading Dark Haven and completely enamoured by Willows’ expert display of her craftmanship. I’m truly a little bit heartbroken to have turned the last page of this story.”
Queer Lit Loft
“The author’s ability to infuse
the nectar of life into archaic words turns crumbling ruins into shining temples, wind-blown ashes into born-again human bones, and inevitable death into fabled glory. This is the story of Medea depicted as never before.” ~Queer Literary Loft“The setting leaps off the page, the characters are just familiar enough that it feels like you’re glimpsing inside what could have been—sort of a “there’s the story you’ve been told, but now here’s what really happened.” ~’Nathan Burgoine, Lambda Nominated Author
“We can’t praise this book highly enough. It has a fantastic paranormal romance with a twist when politics comes between humans and vampires, and one of best ever vampire/human couples, and it’s beautifully written.”
The Huffs, Goodreads.
“The lore and world building is excellent and a lot of fun! I love how vampirism works in this world. The writing is interesting and kept me wanting to read, resulting in a late night or two lol. Well done Ms Willows!“
Avalon, Goodread
