GANGSTERS & GUNMOLLSIt was the 1930s and America was locked in the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major cities while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time of Speak Easy gin-joints, Tommy-guns, fast cars and even faster dames. This is the world of New York based Private Investigator Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for justice. So if you've got a taste for hot lead and knuckle sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora and light up a Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way. Created by pulp masters, Bobby Nash & Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own brand of two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew Salmon & William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover of private eye fiction.

Autumn Feast is a seasonal non-fiction picture book featuring an imaginative narrative, with gentle scientific information weaved throughout.

Originally Published in 2010- The debut out of print collection of quick fiction by Sean Taylor, the author of 2015's Your Smallest Bones. "Everything To Do With You includes ten memorable short stories. What Mr. Taylor can accomplish in this highly compressed form is astonishing. In "Why Won't You Lie" he delineates the birth and growth of a loving relationship as a young man arrives home soaked from a rainstorm and reflects on his need for warmth as he waits for his lover. The tables are turned when she arrives: "She floods the door, soaked head to toe, worse than I ever was, and stares down at me." Together they recall their meeting when he had rescued her as she "held [herself] hostage on a rowboat in the middle of Stow Lake" after her father's passing. In a few deft strokes, Taylor explores grief and neediness and the ease with which youth can fall in love. In a moment of intimacy the girl proclaims the lovely and haunting remark: "What a wonderful puddle we always find ourselves in." Sweet and sentimental, but not cloying. "His Stop" describes an encounter with a wino on the N Judah Muni line, carefully characterized, a short San Francisco vignette brimming with detail and authenticity. In "Story", a deeply felt personification of his muse, he describes her as "the violent quiet you hear when you turn the pages of every book." Perhaps my favorite is "The Coat Girl", in which Mr. Taylor describes what seems to be a high school love affair with a troubled young poet. As she struggles with mental illness, he writes, "they say your case was growing worse, though your IQ was rising like the tide crashing under your bouts of depression." Ahhhhhh. But, then, again, how could the narrative of a fallen angel on a quest for imperfection, "The Eleventh Commandment", fail to be my favorite? Or the characterization of the stripper in "The second book by my new favorite author"? Oh to hell with choosing favorites! I strongly suggest that you read the first book by MY new favorite author, Sean Taylor."- Charles Kruger of TheRumpus.net reviews Everything to do with You.

"A well-prepared guide to success, this book is a rare combination of informative, inspiring and useful. Don't wait to read it. It is a great read for everyone." Kevin D. Johnson, CEO of Johnson Media Inc., Author of The Entrepreneur Mind Everyone wants to live the best life they can right? Of course they do, which is why people have goals and constantly search for the best ways to achieve them. People seek out all kinds of sources (books, the internet, school, seminars) in hopes for answers. The question is, why do these things often fail to work? Why do people's attempts at goals start strong, but then burn out? The truth is these blueprints do not matter unless the 3 Core Powers of Success are applied, knowingly or unknowingly. Individuals who reach the peak of their practice may require certain specialization, but no matter what a person's career or life mission is, all successes are built on a version of the same three cores. History has revealed these 3 Core Powers as non-discriminatory. The greatest heroes and villains have all made use of their power. Students, teachers, entrepreneurs, world leaders, athletes, monks or preachers; the list goes on and on. These are the fundamentals to achieving success in anything. Learn them and you will succeed as well. In You Are gOD: The 3 Core Powers of Success, author Sean Taylor, is artfully succinct in sharing these principles for readers to use in their own lives. This book is mind shifting. It opens up a new world. Once read, affirmations of the 3 Core Powers will constantly appear in everyday life.

Your Smallest Bones is a collection of short fiction built on the sounds we make when we run out of sounds. Can you hear them yet? All you have to do is help an ex-lover push a grand piano out onto a frozen lake. You have to break both of your thumbs in perfect symmetry to grow up. You have to bind mattresses like books, with all the classics penned to them, just to get some sleep. You heard them with the smallest bones, inside your inner ear. Somedays, there is perfection in the quiet of your hands pressing play on the braille love letters of a blind man. Somedays, life sounds like an earthquake detector while you're in the shower. Then you hear your neighbors sounds. On the day of her husbands funeral, a woman recreates a stick-up from her favorite western. The sound of an eccentric marriage nearly lost to the mislabeling of coconut juice. Or in a tea garden after a conversation with a child, a man finds heaven as he timidly describes hell. Can you hear it now? Across town when a pianist loses his hearing, he paints the color spectrum along his piano keys to regain his favorite lost notes. Meanwhile, a girl next door carries a prayer, from the lions she feeds, into a song, for a parrot she adopts. These stories play the out-stretched gasp, they play the shiver, the hope whisper, and the buckling fear.
