Books; from nude male models to delicate, fantastical flowers and now, a series full of magic, friendship and survival, “the Fledgling God” series.

Fledgling God

“Misfit Mage – Fledgling God Book 1

He went searching for a fresh start.
He didn’t expect to find unusual friends, fierce enemies, and primal powers.
Jason thought that it was the end of his life after being attacked and hunted by a band of ruthless thugs. Instead, he taped into the source of creation and emerged from his Death Experience with magical powers.

“Melee Mage – Fledgling God Book 2

After getting punched in the face by a golem, Jason discovers he desperately needs two things: a much better offense and a much better defense.
To a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and to a mage, everything is solved with magic. That is, unless your magic is small and restricted like Jason’s. Since he can’t use charms, create shields or throw fireballs, he needs to find a different way to win battles.

“Gathering Mage – Fledgling God Book 3

Jason is getting ready to have the adventure of his life!
He and Sandy are heading to the Gathering, which is a conference where the Heads of the Households of the supernatural world network, talk about problems and solutions facing the Houses, and learn a few things.

Jason is going just to support Sandy, and figures he’ll have a mildly interesting time and be home soon. Instead, he gets poisoned, fights for his life, meets a whole new nation, learns the history and secrets of runes, has a cosmic encounter, makes many new friends, and finally gets in touch with his godhood.

“Buried Mage – Fledgling God Book 4

Jason’s a Warrior Mage now and stronger than ever before.
The Gathering only lasted for seven days, but it ended up being a lot more of an adventure than Jason had expected. Now it’s time to head home, and Jason is excited to sleep in his own bed and hang out with John, Tyler, and Annabeth again.
Jason learned a lot, and he’s eager to put that knowledge to use. If his ideas work, it could totally revolutionize how Sandy and the crew make charms—allowing them to heal, train, and defend the House even better than before.
So when the rotten mages show up, Jason is still feeling confident in himself and his new knowledge.
He has a new shield. He’s fought for his life in the arena. His matrix is much denser than before.
He’s a warrior mage now and stronger than ever before.
What could possibly go wrong?.

Nude Male Models

“The Men” by Michael Taggart Photography
Fashion Underwear Nude Artwork
Not available

The Men: Fashion Underwear Nude Artwork: by Michael Taggart Photography” was a e-published collection of images and words that followed my journey as I developed my photography and PhotoShop skills to create the unique and vivid artwork that has gained recognition throughout the world wide web. 

I created composites using the models in a studio setting and combined them in PhotoShop to create different scenes. This gave the ordinary photo a story, texture and history that makes it much more interesting and that created an entire fantasy world.

After “The Men” came “Nude Male Models: Trevor“, focusing on the model, Trevor, which included several alternate crops of the best pictures, before and after examples, as well as shots directly from the studio. This blending of of man and digital art allows the images to tell stories, evoke emotions and memories and allows the reader to slip into a vivid and fantastical world.

What People Are Saying About The Flowers…

A talented and thoughtful artist – so not just your average pictures. Definitely worth a look. You will not be disappointed!

 It’s as if the flowers are pictured not as specimens on a botanical species, but as living, sentient people, each of them with their quirky, assertive, amusing, sensual, or aloof personality.

Mister Taggart has done it again. He has taken the everyday flower and made it more Beautiful. No mean feat. He also along the way has added some very original poetry and thoughts on the enhanced flowers, opening new buds of thought along the way.
