David Taylor has lived his entire life in San Diego County. Sitting on the border of Mexico is something like the film 'Losing it'. What's Mexico, and what's just the ugly side of America? The nearness of the Anza-Borrego and Yuha Desert has prompted most of this recent work. The advent of children, one son, Alexander, and a set of twins,Kellian and Nicholas, also have added subjects to his source of ideas.

David Taylor sold his first piece to Black Belt magazine back in 1980. It's been fits and starts ever since, with an eclectic array of publishers. After writing several pieces for Black Belt, Karate Illustrated and Inside Kung Fu, he sold a men's action adventure novel to Soldier of Magazine Presents, a series by TOR. 'Shuttle Showdown' is available at Amazon.com. More recently, he has sold at Desert USA.com, and DezertMagazine.com, and can be found at In-The-Desert.com
