Tim Curtis wrote his first complete sentence seven years ago. He was so excited he immediately signed up for evening classes at Miami-Dade College. Two years later he joined John Dufresne's Friday Night Writers group. Thanks to spell check, and the feedback he received from the group, Tim was accepted into Florida International University's Creative Writing Program the following year. This fall marks his sixth year attending Friday Night Writers and his fourth year in FIU's three year MFA program. When Tim isn't busy rewriting his awesome comedic novel Live Is Good--If But Briefly, he dabbles in short stories and poetry. Tim never shies away from a chance to share his writing, and is available for bedside readings from his tome of early missives he modestly refers to as "sedative literature.".
