Tim Trott

Tim Trott grew up reading the Hardy Boys series and watching Sky King on television. Later, his interests turned to authors like Robert Heinlein or Isaac Asimov, and to works by Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell. Tim studied broadcasting and media at St. Petersburg College while working in local television (WLCY) and radio (WSUN). Fast-forward past the broadcasting years (film editing and radio), to sound and security system contracting, teaching drone courses, video production, web design and hosting, when he published several non-fiction titles. One of the non-fiction titles was Out of the Blue, the story of Sky King and its star, Kirby Grant, whom Tim met through a friend in the years before Grant's untimely death in 1986. When Tim joined a local writer’s group in Daytona, Florida, the group leader, Veronica H. Hart (Silent Autumn, The Knife, The Prince of Keegan Bay, and many more), encouraged Tim to explore fiction writing. The result was a few dozen short stories. A later group leader, Chris Holmes, suggested Tim should expand some of the short stories into novels. The future likely promises more of the same, and perhaps a few more non-fiction titles.
