Ray Taylor
The following is Ray's introduction in his own words:
βI'm a UK-based author. I was a business / tech journalist a long, long time ago and still like to write articles and reviews. In recent years I have tried to write much more fiction but, ironically, I seem to get more interest for my non-fic. My main fictional genres (mostly short stories and flash fiction) are historical and sci-fi (very similar I think) and I like to include an element of mystery in all of my stories. My only book-length story to date is Run with the Pack, a wolfy adventure, now serialized on Vocal ( https://vocal.media/chapters/run-with-the-pack-contents ). My non-fiction subjects include art, tech, and the human condition. I have written a fair amount about AI recently. I try to have a go at most Vocal challenges. Thanks for reading and keep on writing!β
Ray is a great person. He's all about communicating and lifting his fellow Vocalites. Thank you Ray for all you do!!!
