A Word About the Title
Yes, I know if taken the wrong way it does sound like a porn site. But it comes from my love of fiction that features (mostly) good guys and the femme fatales who frustrate their ideals. A lot of my favorite fiction comes from those kinds of stories, and I love to constantly reinvent both the good guys and the bad girls for a modern audience.
A Word About Pronouns
On this blog, I have embraced the use of they/their/them as a singular pronoun in an effort to be inclusive. I realize that may bother some folks, and it isn't quite the gold standard of Chicago or AP, but it's the law around here. Call me an early adopter, if it helps you deal with it. Hell, you might even find a few ze/zir pronouns lying around from time to time. I'm trying to get used to it. 😀

This is my official writing blog. But it's not just a place to promote my stuff. It's a resource (I hope) of information about writing and creating genre fiction, literary prose, comic books, and just about anything else you can create with pens, pencils, paper, or word-processing software and a printer. On this site, you'll be able to find publishers calling for submissions, tutorials about the craft of writing and editing, interviews with other writers, links to helpful and fascinating articles about the art, craft and business of writing and publishing, etc. -- and of course, yes, you'll also be able to keep up with whatever I have my writerly little paws involved in too.
If you have a link, press release, or article you'd like to see posted here, please email me and let him know.
Sean Taylor is an award-winning writer of stories. He grew up telling lies, and he got pretty good at it, so now he writes them into full-blown adventures for comic books, graphic novels, magazines, book anthologies and novels. He makes stuff up for money, and he writes it down for fun. He's a lucky fellow that way.
He also recently entered the world of board/card game design and plans to buy his second and third Malibu Summer home with the money he makes from those ventures. (Yes, that's a joke. Writing hasn't even managed to pay for his first Malibu Summer home yet.)
He's the former managing editor of Campfire (formerly Elfin) graphic novels, where he oversaw the publication of graphic novels based on classic literature, world literature and historical biographies, as well as original works.
In addition to all that, he's 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 adds with great pride). He served as book editor and writer for the two iHero trade paperback collections A Private Little Corner of the Universe and Playing Solitaire and the I, Hero magazine.

About Sean Taylor
He has been referred to as a "genre-defying literary chameleon." That just means he writes stuff. All kinds of stuff. Lit stuff. Pulp stuff. Horror stuff. Sci-fi stuff. Poetry stuff. Non-fiction stuff. Comic book stuff. He digs it all.
He dreams for the days of Vonnegut and Bradbury, where writers could write what they wanted instead getting pigeon-holed into epics and series and marketing-based
genres that were layered in six feet of bricks. (For the love of God, Montressor!) He likes to leapfrog around it all like a toad hopped up on speed.
In his writing life, he has directed the “lives” of zombies, super heroes, goddesses, dominatrices, Bad Girls, pulp heroes, and yes, even frogs, for such diverse bosses as IDW Publishing, Gene Simmons, and The Oxygen Network.
He also recently entered the world of board/card game design and plans to buy his second and third Malibu Summer home with the money he makes from those ventures. (Yes, that's a joke.

He served as book editor and writer for the two iHero trade paperback collections A Private Little Corner of the Universe and Playing Solitaire and the I, Hero magazine.
He's also the former editor-in-chief of Shooting Star Comics, where he 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 he weren't already overworked and exhausted, he's 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.
He currently lives in the Atlanta area with his extraordinarily beautiful wife (who rolls her eyes at his consistent dad jokes and geeky attire) and his two sons. His daughter had the good sense to get married and get out of that environment to raise Sean's grandchildren.
