About the author

Thaddeus Robinson is a South Carolina native whose deep-rooted love for the coastal communities of the Grand Strand inspires his storytelling. Drawing from his years spent in Socastee, Surfside Beach, and Garden City, he brings the fictional town of Paradise, South Carolina, vividly to life. His passion for writing began as a teenager on his high school newspaper, where he honed his voice and discovered his love for narrative. After high school, he briefly served in the Army before a medical discharge led him to pursue a career in design and education.

Thaddeus earned his Digital Arts degree with honors from Horry Georgetown Technical College in 2014, and later graduated from Coastal Carolina University in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Photography. He spent years as a university photographer covering ASUN and Sun Belt conferences, while also building a successful freelance career in photography and design throughout the Myrtle Beach area. In 2021, he completed his Master’s in Education from Francis Marion University.

Influenced by authors like Nicholas Sparks, Thomas Harris, James Patterson, Robert B. Parker, Craig Johnson, and John Grisham, Thaddeus is passionate about creating immersive worlds where ordinary people face extraordinary events. His writing captures the power of love, the complexity of family, and the resilience of the human spirit, all set against the evocative backdrop of the Carolina coast. In 2024, Thaddeus relocated to Northern Vermont with his wife of over 20 years and their three children. Now, from his home in Vermont, he continues to write with the same deep affection for the South that shaped his youth.
