Keith John Taylor (born 26 December 1946) is an Australian
science fiction and
fantasy writer.
Biography
Born in
Tasmania, Taylor now resides in
Melbourne, Australia. Getting his start in Ted White's Fantastic, Taylor went on to collaborate with
Andrew J. Offutt on two novels based upon the Robert E. Howard hero,
Cormac Mac Art – an Irish Viking active in
King Arthur's time.
Taylor's series of novels centering on an Irish character of his own creation – the bard Felimid mac Fal – was published throughout the 1980s. Much of Taylor's fictional output in the 1990s was in the
Arthurian fantasy subgenre. Many stories featuring his character, Kamose the Magician, were published in Weird Tales in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
