Meet Bob Taylor...
Bob Taylor was born in Georgia, grew up on a dairy farm, and graduated from Georgia Southern. He became a Marine Corps infantry platoon leader, then a Marine Pathfinder, and later a Naval Aviator (Marine Corps style). Bob left the Corps and taught high school math.
Anxious to return to his past as an aviator, he applied for and was hired by the Forest Service as a pilot, with additional duties as a statistician. There, he began to get his feet wet in the computer department and was intrigued with these new devices called computers.
Bob learned well and after a couple of years, was hired by Honeywell Information Systems, a major player in this new industry. Ten years later, Bob left Honeywell and started his own computer software business.
Now in retirement, Bob enjoys family, especially grandkids, writing for newspapers, magazines, periodicals, and especially novels.
His first book, published in 2001, "A Few Good Memories, Tales from Marine Corp Boot Camp," is a non-fiction compilation of selected stories submitted by Marines of all ages.
Following a 10 year respite, in 2012 Bob published "So Sweet Justice," available on Amazon Kindle, a novel based upon a double-edged romance war-time during war-torn Vietnam.
Also in 2012, Bob published another Amazon Kindle book, "Operation Hannibal," a novel based upon a daring rescue of two kidnapped Marines from a gulag in Siberia, during the height of the world-wide Cold War of the Fifties and Sixties.
In October, 2013, Bob published "Ghost of Homer Lusta," a fictional story of 22-year-old Homer's participation in the "War of Northern Aggression." Almost mimicking Barney Fife's style, Homer makes good in spite of himself, especially when his 14-year-old brother, Lack, sneaks into the war. Blest Pete, together they turn a few good deeds for the South in spite of having no idea what they are doing, but are highly rewarded in the end.
Bob continues to reside in south Georgia where he continues to publish and present computer programming guides. When not working, Bob enjoys spending time with his wife over 60 years Marjorie and his granddaughter (and sometimes co-author!) Payton.
Bob Taylor Books was opened in 2024 to serve as the official online bookstore for all of Bob's published works.
