About the author

Timothy D. Wise says he was born in Florida during the Project Gemini space mission, and his mind has been orbiting the planet ever since.

Tim describes his books as a strange brew of science fiction, fantasy, and horror with elements of romance and humor and some Christian underpinnings. Early influences include Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, C.S. Lewis, and a lot of classic TV and comics. Imagery from his small-town Louisiana and Arkansas background also show up frequently in his work.

One of his first attempts at becoming a published author was when he mailed a hand-drawn Legion of Superheroes comic to DC comics at the age of twelve.

Tim is a university business professor who explores the journeys of dreamers like Walt Disney who somehow managed to transmute their creative visions into realities others could share and enjoy. He tries to inspire his students to develop and pursue their own dreams or to team up with others in doing the same.

Tim went back to school in his forties to pursue a seminary degree in Christian apologetics, a discipline that explores the challenges of integrating faith with evidence and culture. Questions about the nature of souls, evil, science, and the supernatural are staples of both apologetics and the literary genres in which Tim writes, he considers it a natural fit.
