J. A. Tyler

J. A. Tyler is a new American author who has been publishing short fiction for the last two years. A mix of satire and sharply poetic language, his writing is the exploration of strange ideas, fierce themes, and the placement of words. His style includes light humor, as seen in The Stand Up (a Contest Winner at Big Pond Rumours) as well as violent, pulsing experimentation, found in many of his recently published pieces.

He just completed his first novella entitled Nobody. Begun as a semi-autobiographical work, it became a compilation of hundreds of minute stories working towards the illustration of a life lived. It is, in short, the biographical sketch of a no one, a nothing, a nada. A chapter of this work, Scenic Highway #34, appeared in the BluePrintReview.

J. A. Tyler's next novel is now in progress. It is the exploration of one hundred episodes of death tied to the same pinpoint moment, melded aggressively and relentlessly into a single second.

While these ideas for fiction come and go, the constants remain: a six-pound dog, a highly supportive and loving wife, and the bubbling smiles of a newborn son.
