I’m Tim Baker…of the Rhode Island Bakers…our lineage began with the birth of Francis Baker in Hertfordshire, England circa 1611. Francis came to America in 1635 and, well, fast-forward to 1980 when I embarked on a relatively uneventful 20 year career in Architecture and Engineering, followed by short stints in the natural gas industry, construction and ice cream sales before moving to Florida in 2006 where I have lived ever since.

But wait! There’s more…

I love dogs and spent most of the 90s as a volunteer puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, raising and socializing potential guide dogs.

I studied and taught martial arts, I’m a lifetime member of Red Sox Nation, I’m left handed and I have never really enjoyed getting my hair cut.

My first attempt at writing came in 1988 when I began writing a novel called Full Circle. It was a story about the far reaching effects one man’s actions can have on people he has never even met. Unfortunately without the use of a computer or even a typewriter I shelved the project due to the difficulties of trying to construct a novel completely by hand (in other words: writer’s cramp).

In early 2007 I had a bizarre dream, which inspired my first novel, appropriately called Living the Dream, and I’ve been cranking out books non-stop ever since.

My seventh novel will be released in August, 2014.

My books are fast-paced, off-beat crime stories set in Flagler Beach and St. Augustine, Florida. They’re full of colorful characters and loaded with unexpected and often humorous twists and turns. I have also co-written two zombie novellas and written a few short stories for horror anthologies.

If you have any questions you can find me all over the internet – I’ll be happy to give you the inside scoop.
