Joe Taylor was mysteriously born in Cincinnati to be transported immediately to Corbin, Kentucky. He then lived in Lexington and Bardstown before moving to Florida, where he obtained a Ph.D., with much help and understanding from that University's faculty. Then, in Atlanta, he was a reader for Peachtree Press. In Alabama, he was a judge for the first Fred Bonnie Memorial Award and its wonderful winner, Lisa Borders' Cloud Cuckoo Land. He taught at St. Leo College and now teaches at the University of West Alabama, where he has served as editor and publisher of Livingston Press for nearly twenty years. He lives well outside the hubbub with his wife Tricia. He has a previously published novel, Oldcat & Ms. Puss: A Book of Days for You and Me, three published story collections, and several edited anthologies of stories. He has two novels forthcoming, Let There Be Lite, OR, How I Came To Know and Love Gödel's Incompleteness Proof (October 14, 2014) and The Theoretics of Love, hopefully some time in 2015.
