Marlene asked Taylor Stevens:

Would you ever write a biography?

Taylor Stevens It's possible... maybe one day. But I've always felt that the story of what happened throughout my childhood was bigger than just my own personal experiences, which is why I wrote THE INNOCENT (Munroe #2).

Without a doubt, THE INNOCENT is fiction--all of the characters are made up and the story line itself is also made up. But, everything that happens in that book plot-wise as it pertains to the cult is a fictionalized account of something similar that happened to someone(s) [not necessarily me] in real life. The scenes inside the "havens," the beliefs, the lifestyle and sequestration, the way the characters think and behave, were as close to real life as I could make them within this genre-defined, word count-limited, fictional format and is the best answer I can give to those who ask what it was like for me growing up.

So I'm not saying I'll *never* write a memoir, but for now, THE INNOCENT is out there to fill in the blanks. :)
