I am an engineer and writer. I traveled the world as an engineer buying technology and machinery for new factories we were building. I have written western and detective novels. I sometimes write poetry. In my younger days, I wrote engineering books. I have written many hundreds of articles. Some of those were professional and technical in nature when I was a college professor and in my later professional years, a technical magazine editor. In recent years I have written numerous articles for the Internet from apples to science fiction. I use the name Taylor Jones the Hack Writer for many articles. I have been taking a professional art course for two years and have less than a year to go to complete it. I am mainly a landscape painter but I do other stuff too.
