Biographie:
M W Taylor is otherwise known as Mark Taylor, but there seems to be a lot of them in the world, hence having to use his initials. Unfortunately he also thinks it makes him sound intelligent. A forensic photographer for Scotland Yard for almost 24 years, Mark has seen many unusual sides to life, often giving a unique slant to his writing. He lives in Surrey, England. His first book is 'The Many lives of Adam Capello', which descibes our world in the near future, where everything has changed because of the science of Awakening. A science that lets anyone see back into their past lives to regain old skills. His new book is 'Killing Time'. Set in the same world of Awakening, Jack the Ripper is back in London and being hunted by a past life investigator and a Victorian Ripperologist. You can find copies on Amazon and at bookshops for a ridiculously fair price.
