Charles E. Tyer III

---

Charles E. Tyer III isn’t your typical author. He is from the Green Swamp area in Polk County, Florida of all places, where hog hunting, fishing, alligators, and hard work in the sun is the normal way of life for most. He lives with his wife and two kids on a small farm. He has goats, chickens, a cow, a Great Dane, four cats, some saltwater fish, two snakes, rabbits, and now turkeys despite Charles telling his wife that he only wanted a fish. Much like his wife, the animals too are working their way into his stories. These are the things that most people know about Charles.

What most people don't know is that Charles started writing his first novel when he was fifteen years old while attending Kathleen High School. His love for fantasy, science, action, and adventure, particularly Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, inspired him to start several books of his own. 

Fueled with a drive to be successful, Charles set aside his dreams of being an author and went to college where he graduated with honors from the University of South Florida with a business degree. He has since then worked in many different professions. Through it all, he has been wishing he was in a fantasy realm far away from reality. In his pursuit of the American Dream, his books were pushed into the dark confines of his closet. He thought that he would never publish any of his books. That is until now.
