Tyler Roberts was born in eastern Washington and grew up working in the wheat fields there. Through those experiences he met and grew to know a wealth of real "characters" that now provide a rich vein of personalities from which to draw when writing.Tyler was not always a writer. In fact he refers to himself as the "reluctant writer" in his blog. (http://tylerrobertsauthor.wordpress.com/) During his senior year in high school an elderly English teacher asked him to take a test and write a short story. He hated English but decided to humor the teacher by taking the test. A few weeks later she returned with two scholarship offers to writing schools. At 17 Tyler couldn't image himself as a writer and never took it seriously. But that old teacher must have seen something. Though the writing seed had been planted, it lay dormant until Tyler retired. At that time he began writing for himself, just for the enjoyment of writing. When his eldest son found out about it he convinced Tyler to polish the work and have it published. That is the work now known as Truth's Blood.Tyler has always been fascinated by the fact that mankind seems to find it impossible to learn the lessons history has to teach. Coupled with the things we see taking place in America today, it became clear that history is about to teach many of those lessons again to the American people and that is the basis for Tyler book. Tyler is educated in the biological science fields and has been married for 33 years. He is a great fan of history, an avid beekeeper, organic gardener and manager of a small orchard. He is currently working on the sequel to Truth's Blood.
