ⓘ About Timothy Hallinan
Timothy Hallinan has always dreamed of being a writer ever since he was young. After reading the novel Gone with the Wind at 11 years, Timothy realized that it was exceedingly possible to come up with a story that is much more interesting than real life encounters. His journey did not stop there because when he was at the eighth grade, Timothy fell in love with his English teacher, Miss Reid who was 22 years old at that time. To display his affection, Timothy decided to write a love poem to the teacher, who upon receiving it handled it with care and an extra ordinary delicacy. The English teacher gave the poem a positive critique and told Timothy that he truly was talented. As he grew up, Timothy joined a band where he began writing and composing songs for them before he got a real job.
