Biography
Teyla Rachel Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, so life at her house can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. She thrives on the energy and daily amusement offered by her children, the semi-ordered chaos giving her a constant source of writing material. Grabbing any snatch of free time from her hectic life, Teyla writes novels full of mystery, romance, and imagination. She warns her children that if they don’t behave, they just might find themselves in her next book! She’s been known to wear pajamas all day when working on a deadline, and is often distracted enough to burn dinner. (Okay, pretty much 90% of the time.) A sign on her office door reads: DANGER. WRITER AT WORK. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. She loves writing fiction and traveling, and she hopes to write and travel a lot more. She also loves shooting guns, martial arts, and belly dancing. She has worked in the publishing business for over twenty years. Teyla writes science fiction, fantasy and other speculate fiction under the name TEYLA BRANTON, and she writes contemporary romance under the name RACHEL BRANTON.

Enjoyed your Unbounded first book looking forward to reading the next in the series.
I have just this minute finished The Takeover and OMG that was one of the best collection of books I have ever read. Kayla you are an amazing writer and I cannot wait to read more from you. The way you got me hooked from book one was amazing, please keep writing for a long time. Xx
Totally enjoyed this book. Have to get the next book. Thank you for something different.
A refreshing change from vampires and zombies
I enjoyed your book very much looking forward to reading the sequels thank you
Enjoyed the book, have already purchased The Cure. Found ur book on site that let me read it for free. Found another great Auther the same way, Estella Ryan. Am saving her new book and urs, am having a very long plane ride starting Sunday. Thank u for the great read. Keep it up. Kiss the kids and hubby since I am sure u forget them sometimes while writing.
Great book. I could hardly lay it down Found myself reading until the wee hours. Ready for "The Cure"
Just finished the change and I loved it. Can’t wait till start the cure.
Great read! It kept me interested and wanting to know what happened with the characters-a real page turner! I can easily see them making a movie or a tv show about this. Well done!
I just finished reading The Change. It is an extremely engrossing and exciting novel. Couldn’t put it down after reading just the first few pages and can’t wait to start the next one.
A very enjoyable read, I can see the beginning of some complex and interesting sub plots
The book is so real it is believable had I no deeper knowledge of Existence to fall back on. Well researched. Carefully written. Detailed. Beautiful read but scary.
Good work Tyla. And good luck.
Will start with the next in the series now.
Just finished your first book which I was able to download through Amazon for free. I just ordered the second one and will continue to order until I finish all of them. Thank you for your great books I will be passing the word on to my girls to enjoy. M
Loved this story and can’t wAit to read more. Please keep going, you are very talented.

I enjoyed reading the first book in the unbounded thank you for sharing
I just love these novels. They are very unique and intriguing and the story develops in ways that aren’t predictable. Very imaginative. Best series I have read.
So enjoyed The Change and looking forward to reading more in the series . I hope you continue for many more years
Absolutely intriguing and captivating.Can’t wait to delve deeper into all the characters and their stories and be taken on another grand adventure.
Thanks for writing a great book, filled with plenty of action, with just enough romance sprinkled in to keep it interesting. The twists and turns along the way kept me thinking, surprising me just when I thought I had things figured out. Looking forward to the next installment.
Totally got caught up in the unbounded world, eager to read the next in the series now. The only slight irritation for me is the photographed book jackets, the photographer doesn’t seem to have understood or captured the essence of Erin and the unbounded, which gives it an amateur feel. It’s only when you get into reading the book you find it’s an excellent novel. The cover of a book is what gives an indication of the tone of a story, with a model who has a more compelling look and presence you would have the icing on the cake. A minor detail but one which publishing companies seem to overlock, it is after all what makes you want to pick it off the shelf to buy and thus turn it into a bestseller.
i found your "world" development quite engaging, and your bio even more inspiring! Have fun and keep on sharing…
Just finished the first book. Liked it and looking forward to the other books in the series. Ironically, I didn’t realize until about three-fourths through the book that the main protagonist character and myself shares a last name. Mine is spelled without the "Y". In the thousands of books I have read that is a first for me. So great choice for last name! 🙂
Enjoyed the story. Keep up the good story telling.
