Tim Marquitz

Biography
Tim Marquitz Raised on a diet of Heavy Metal and bad intentions, Tim Marquitz has always been interested in writing, but it wasn't until about 1995 the urge became a compulsion. However, it would be many years later before the ability matched the interest. Fortunately, the two have reconciled...mostly. Now, with six novels under his belt, he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his inspirations: Clive Barker, Jim Butcher, and Stephen King. Writing a mix of the dark perverse, the horrific, and the tragic, tinged with sarcasm and biting humor, he looks to leave a gaping wound in the memories of his readers. A former grave digger, bouncer, and dedicated metalhead, Tim is a huge fan of Mixed Martial Arts, and fighting in general. Involved in the Live Action Role Playing organization, Amtgard, since he was fifteen, he derives great pleasure from bashing people into submission. He lives in Texas, with his beautiful wife and daughter, a neurotic dog and finger-crippling cat, and a wayward EMT.
