The writer has a strong addiction
to the magic imported bean of life..
Likes: Playing with my kids, hanging out with my wife, steamed green beans with almonds, B-grade horror and sci-fi movies, anime, comic books, manga, John Cusack films, Dr. Who, redheads, women in stockings, Scooby Doo (classic, though, not the Scrappy crap), jazz, funk, rock, electronica (love trance particularly), the thin patch of a woman's skin between a tall boot and a knee-length skirt, BBC America, Sci-Fi Channel, pondering the existential angst of religious thought and longing, writing essays, short stories and songs, playing guitar, bass and harmonica, beach volleyball, cheesecake (the food and the art style).
Dislikes: Religious bullying, inability to debate without fighting, talking more than a few minutes having to talk about about ADD or OCD, being away from the computer for too long, close-mindedness, people too much like myself, prudishness, excessive trashiness in clothes, feeling the aches of getting older, onions, bananas, coconut, the redneck mentality, disrespect, contemporary romantic comedies, sports-themed films.
Super Powers: Can makes friends quickly and easily. Transparent to a fault, sometimes a bad thing. Occasionally able to sway people to his will thanks to his charm. A hopeless flirt.
Secret Weakness: An Internet connection. It saps his willpower and strength and locks his butt into the chair in front of the monitor. A redhead or blonde in sexy boots and a knee-length skirt. That's like kryptonite, I'm afraid.
Proficiencies: Able to string words together to create stories and relay facts in ways that dazzle readers. Proficient in designing Internet sites. Can provoke emotional response (in a good way) by playing stringed instruments and arranging pre-recorded loops. Can make a kickin' cappucino. Knows the difference between a salad fork and a dinner fork (and even those tiny seafood forks).

Sean Taylor is a full-time writer of prose, graphic novels and comic books.
I'm the writer of Gene Simmons Dominatrix by Simmons Comics Group published by IDW Publishing and have also written for Gene Simmons House of Horrors, also published by IDW. I'm also currently writing the upcoming fantasy graphic novel Shan: Be My Hero for VLE Comics, the upcoming miniseries Last Chance School for Girls and Jesse James in the Mayan Underworld for Arcana Comics, and the ongoing title The Veil for Rogue Wolf Entertainment.
I'm also the former managing editor of Elfin graphic novels, where I oversaw the publication of graphic novels based on classic literature, world literature and historical biographies, as well as original works. For Elfin, I have written the upcoming graphic novel adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man and contributed to an upcoming Halloween-themed collection of stories, and I'm currently writing an original sequel to The Invisible Man and The Time Machine.
Other projects of note that I'm currently working on include Parodox Alley, a tie-in one-shot (featuring Fishnet Angel, Nick Landime, Phantom Jack and Cyberfrog) with the massive War of the Independents indy comic crossover, with my partners in that venture Erik Burnham and Mike Sangiacomo, Quinn: The Reckoning with artist/co-creator Martheus Wade, "Jennifer's Luggage" (a short comics tale) for Image's Negative Burn anthology, Jesus Manson, Agnostic at Large with artist Oliver Tria, Body Dumper with artist Taki Soma, Ace Robinson, Monster Killer for Hire: Turf War with co-creator/artist George Pitcher III, "Sweetly Felt the Dream" (a comics short) for Terminus Media, and a few others that aren't quite ready for public revelation as of yet.
In addition to all that, I've also been a staff writer, managing editor and editorial vice president for iHero Entertainment's Writer’s Digest Grand Prize Zine Award-winning Cyber Age Adventures magazine ("The very first zine award, as a matter of fact," he said with great pride). I've served as book editor and writer for the two iHero trade paperback collections A Private Little Corner of the Universe and Playing Solitaire.
I've also the former editor-in-chief of Shooting Star Comics, where I edited the critically acclaimed Children of the Grave comics series and edited and contributed to the fan favorite Shooting Star Comics Anthology, and was creator and author of the Fishnet Angel: Jane Doe comic book miniseries.
As if I weren't already overworked and exhausted, I've also written and edited for the role-playing game industry as well, having contributed to the DCU Role Playing Game published by West End Games (Gotham City Sourcebook, Titans Sourcebook, and Green Lantern Sourcebook) and having edited the Cyber Age Adventures Role Playing Game.
I'm the former editor for the Baptist Men Edition of On Mission magazine and the former associate editor of On Mission magazine, and during my tenure on the magazine's staff, it won an EPA Higher Goals award (a religious publishing version of a Folio, basically). I have won lots of fancy awards that used mean something and were nice decorations in the corporate office I used to have before I discovered the joys of poverty and freelance writing. I've contributed articles and book and music reviews to such national periodical publications as Inside the Lines, Home Life, Church Administration, CCM, CBA Marketplace (formerly Bookstore Journal), and others.
I'm also a gigging musician and songwriter. Click here to visit my MySpace music page for my techno and folk (yeah, sue me, I like opposites) original songs and my music bio. NothingRegal.com is the official website for the band I'm in.
I currently live in Atlanta with his wife, daughter, two sons, four cats, two dogs and four fish. For more information, visit my official website at www.taylorverse.com or my ComicSpace page at www.comicspace.com/seanhtaylor.

The writer doing what he does
best after working so hard...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
