Meet the Author: Joe Taylor

Rebecca M Arthurs Memorial Library 223 Valley Street, Brookville, PA, United States

Join us at the library for a toast of "lives well lived." From thinking he remembers, as a six month old, being held by his soon to be killed soldier father, to musing about life a minute after he, himself dies, Joe Taylor has been and always will be an observer. In this, his fourth…and most likely final book (thus the title, “One More Then I’ve Really Gotta Go”) Joe’s storytelling is infused with equal parts of insight, irony, and humor. While it is a book primarily related to aging (his and yours) no seniors were killed in the writing of this book.
