Timothy C. Hobbs is a semi-retired Medical Technologist living in Robinson, Texas. He wrote his first short story in the sixth grade and at the time he believed the title of The Vampire of England to be quite original. The main character, Alucard, was Dracula in reverse. He still has that penciled, long-hand manuscript.
The year 2005 was his first actual money sales experience. He sold a short story and a flash fiction piece to Dark Tales (Autumn 2005 Issue#7 and Autumn 2006 Issue#9) a U.K. publication, and a short story to spinetinglermag.com (Fall 2005 Issue#4) a Canadian on-line publication. He has published short stories and poems in New Texas, an annual literary journal in 2000, 2001 and 2003. A collection of his short horror fiction, Mothertrucker and Other Stories, from Amazon.com.
The Pumkin Seed published by Vamplit Publishing in 2009 was Timothy Hobbs first published novel. He is now working with his editor at Vamplit Publishing on a collection of stories based on popular fairytales. The Smell of Ginger is the first to be produced as an eBook. The whole collection will be published together under the title Once Upon a Time in Texas some time in 2013.
