Tim Trott grew up reading the Hardy Boys series by Franklin W. Dixon, to the extent the local library finally just gave him their entire collection. He also read Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov and explored works by Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell. After studying broadcasting and media at St. Petersburg College in the late '60s while working in local television and radio, he ventured into several careers, ranging from broadcasting to security and sound system contracting, to website development and hosting, to teaching his students to pass the FAA drone certification. Tim settled into writing after retirement, beginning with a book about his childhood hero, Sky King, after being introduced to the series star Kirby Grant. Tim published several nonfiction titles before joining a local writer's group in Daytona, Florida. At one meeting, author Veronica H.

Hart (Silent Autumn and many more) encouraged Tim to try writing fiction. He accepted the challenge and added short stories to his writing adventures. The future promises more fiction and science fiction short stories, perhaps even a novel or two someday, as well as more nonfiction titles.
