Tim Trott began writing seriously after retirement from a blend of several careers, ranging from broadcasting to security systems and sound system contracting to website development and hosting to teaching for the FAA drone test. Tim Trott grew up reading the Hardy Boys series (the local branch library finally just gave him their entire collection), along with such authors as Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, and exploring works by Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell. Tim studied broadcasting and media at St. Petersburg College in the late 60s while working in local television and radio. After that, he began writing radio newscasts and commercials. Fast-forward past time in broadcasting, security contracting, teaching drone courses, video production, web design and hosting, he published several non-fiction titles before being joining a local writer's group in Daytona, Florida. There he was encouraged to explore fiction writing by a member of that group, Florida author Veronica H. Hart (Silent Autumn and many more).
