ABOUT THE AUTHOR

GET TO KNOW TIMOTHY CHASE

A Life in Words


Writing for me was optional at first until I knew what I wanted. Like eating and breathing, it’s something that is integral to my life. Burt Reynolds once said that, "All you have in the end are your stories."  If there is a thing, it's to write a story that gives something to the reader. As with all writers and journalists that strive to be of quality, I have an innate need to continually educate and be a part of something greater.  Those people are not only resume builders but also the hidden makers of history.  I follow the philosophy to not just exist.


My work is personal. In 2006 I graduated from Rhode Island College with a bachelor's degree in Communications.  At that time I worked full time at a coffee warehouse lugging 40lb boxes of muffins and coffee while going to college full time.  That was a youthful accomplishment.  From 2012 to 2023 I experienced a lot of personal loss along with getting to know myself.  In those years I wrote The Grapevine Trilogy and Collected Short Stories 1-29 and Poetry.  In 2012 I got divorced and from April to September 5 of my relatives died.  It was then that I wanted meaning, so I began writing.  It's my hope that you read my work, are entertained with it and possibly learn something in the process.


If there is a pie in the sky I am a piece of that, and if the Tin Man is The Oil Game, then I do my best to keep from rusting. Care to read?  You just might like me.
