 001- No, Gerry Taylor is a nom-de-plume, a name I have taken as
a writer.
I thought of Gerry because
I felt it sounded American and
Taylor because it sounded British.
The name sort puts me in the mid-Atlantic!

- I live in Dublin, Ireland. I am
Irish.

- No. I write at night for my own
amusement and enjoyment.

- Please do, to the eMail address

my own limited abilities as a writer.

the eMail address below. Typos are a bane in the life of any
writer.

- Did no one ever tell you that too
much of a good thing is bad for you? :)
Sex in writing comes in three shapes.
A setting, a foil and an action.
In the slave trilogies mentioned above, the entire setting is
pregnant with sex.
The foil is the set-up for a particular set of scenarios.
The action is the specific occurrence.
There has to be a balance of all three - not always achieved,
alas!
As a writer, I am attempting to reach a balance of the erotic,
of the gay, and of the story. Personally, I think the story-line
is the most important, and the other two just make it
interesting. At times, when one of these is emphasised, the
balance with the other two can be temporarily disturbed.

- No. Dahra is a fictional place. A
fantasy of the imagination. Its limitations and borders are set
by the parameters of the story.
- 010
- I write for fun and the enjoyment of
writing. The Dahran Series started out merely as a book, and then
there were two, and then three....Now I am writing the ninth book
of the series - the last one of the third trilogy.
