Alert me when new Tim Curran titles are added

Bio: A full-time factory worker and part-time author, Tim Curran has been fascinated by story-telling since a young age. He spent his formative years listening to his father and uncles tell stories of their depression-era childhoods and experiences in World War II. His neighborhood was filled with interesting, unusual characters who spun tales with great abandon. It wasn?t long before he was telling tall tales himself. And when a scary or adventurous tale was in the offing, his ears were always open. Now a Teamster and father of three, not much has changed. Imagination and good story-telling are still the primary focus of his life. He?s done everything from groundskeeping to construction, hanging signs to digging ditches. His influences range from H.P. Lovecraft to Elmore Leonard, Jack London to Ray Bradbury, E.C. horror comics to film noir. His short stories have appeared in City Slab, Flesh and Blood, Space and Time, Black October, Blue Murder, Hardboiled, Whispers from the Shattered Forum, etc. Other work has appeared in anthologies such as Sideshow, Weird Trails, Darkness Rising, Crime Spree, and WarFear. He has also written a crime novel, Street Rats, which is available through Amazon.com. Tim writes in variety of genres?crime, horror, western, mystery and suspense as well as science fiction. He feels to be at his strongest mixing genres and is forever on the lookout for the perfect fictional form that will combine the best elements of them all.
