Ed Taylor

Ed Taylor is 65, recently widowed and lives by himself on Mersea Island, a small sailing and fishing community in the Blackwater Estuary. He wrote The Dirty Bombers soon after selling his coffee machine business, and by doing so, realised a lifelong ambition. He is a keen amateur yachtsman and races most weekends in the season.
