Taylor Thomas Smythe, award-winning Kingdom of Florida author, featured in Palm Beach Illustrated
Article by Skye Sherman
The fecund verdancy of South Florida is ripe for tall tales, and that’s exactly what inspired West Palm Beach author Taylor Thomas Smythe to pen fantasy reads for the whole family. His Kingdom of Florida series is akin to The Chronicles of Narnia but with decidedly Floridian leanings. It follows the adventures of a group of South Florida youngsters who discover a parallel land of magic, strange creatures, and an evil prince.
“It starts out as a fairly lighthearted tale, but there’s a deeper mystery bubbling up below the surface, which plays out over the course of the series,” Smythe says.
