Richard Taylor <autobot@richardtaylor.co.uk>
... was born Drah'cir Rolyat in 1533 on Saturn's moon Titan. After many happy years his entire family, including 30 brothers and 19 sisters, moved to Earth following the Titanian economic crisis of 1978.
The family name was changed to Taylor to fit better with local customs and young Drah'cir, also renamed Richard, was sent to Baysgarth School to learn about Earth culture. Many long years of reading and cycling followed.
Later, a short academic career passing through Southampton and Bath Universities gathered useful insights into Football, Kandinsky and the strange phenomenon that is The Moss.
Inspired by his many cultural experiences, Richard wrote the novel Eddie Shore and The Moss which is still available to buy in all good bookshops.
Several lean years followed, provoking a series of short poems Growing Cold and a tiny trickle of praise from the handful of kind natives who now counted as friends.
Dark forces lurked. Fortunately their assassination attempt, the ineptly triggered Buncefield Oil Depot explosion, narrowly failed to find its target and Richard did successfully complete his second novel Eddie Shore 4 Jo.
The 21st century galloped on with randomly emerging short stories, such as A Fair Throw, Ut and The View.
