Biography

Taylor grew up and lived all his life in the state of Georgia, U.S.A, and he has applied that sense of Southern 'magical realism' to his writing. He began writing creating articles for trade magazines and stringing for his local paper The Alpharetta Revue.

Cyber Age Adventures

In 1999, Taylor got a job as the first staff writer for the online zine Cyber Age Adventures. While there, he soon became the Vice President of Editorial and oversaw the publication or two prose anthologies from the magazine's stories, A Private Little Corner of the Universe and Playing Solitaire. In 2011, he published a collection of all of his Cyber Age stories called Show Me A Hero, highly recommended by comics and prose pros from Marvel Comics editor Tom Brevoort to Black Lightning creator Tony Isabella.

Shooting Star Comics

In 2001, Taylor connected with other comic book writing hopefuls and helped to form the indie publisher Shooting Star Comics. Shooting Star published a quarterly anthology comic book called The Shooting Star Comics Anthology, which debuted characters including Aym Geronimo, Yellow Jacket Man of Mystery, Bed Bug, Nick Landime, and others. Taylor's own creation that ran regularly in that anthology, Fishnet Angel, originally appeared in prose in Cyber Age Adventures magazine online. In 2007, Shooting Star Comics dissolved as a company.

IDW and Gene Simmons

In 2006, Taylor signed on with IDW Publishing, publisher of comics such as 30 Days of Night and Transformers to be the writer for the flagship book of the new Simmons Comics Group, created by KISS member Gene Simmons. The series told the adventures of Dominque Stern, a professional dominatrix who becomes a pawn in a CIA adventure that has possible roots in alien technology. Simmons described the book as "CIA meets TNA" though Taylor wrote in an afterward for the trade paperback edition that he always envisioned the series as "Mary Tyler Moore meets Crimes of Passion." The book ran for 6 issues and was collected as a trade paperback in 2008.

While at IDW Taylor also contributed the story "Nymph" for the Simmons Comics Group publication Gene Simmons House of Horrors.

Other Work

Taylor has announced at his website (www.taylorverse.com) that he is officially working on an original sequel to the works of H.G. Wells called A Stitch in Time, which will tie into The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The Food of the Gods, and The War of the Worlds; with artist George Pitcher. He has also announced that he is doing gender-twisted crime comic called Quinn: The Reckoning for Markosia Publishing with Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa artist Martheus Wade.
