The Ring of Truth - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Tim Fox is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas where he works, writes, and steadfastly maintains that he is not complaining, he is merely pointing things out. Frequently. He gives comic books the credit for much of his early vocabulary. Tim says from comics it was a small step to reading myths of all shapes, sizes and pantheons. Whether T.H. White’s or Sir Thomas Malory’s version of the Arthurian legend, Edith Hamilton, C.S. Lewis, or the nonpareil J.R.R. Tolkien, he loved it all. It wasn’t until Tim was introduced to Joseph Campbell’s The Hero With A Thousand Faces that he understood the common denominator of his favorite stories. Whether true myth or the fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson, Victor Hugo, and Alexandre Dumas, they all contained the character archetypes and narrative structure of the hero’s journey. He also enjoys reading courtroom mysteries. As Tim has learned first-hand, real-life legal cases have unexpected twists and turns, and the Law has some unique words with unusual meanings, so he finds a good legal drama riveting. Tim describes Ring, as, “a legal thriller meets Joseph Campbell. Well kind of, if you turn the hero’s journey a little sideways; strike the hero with lightning, have him fall in love with someone who tries to poison him, and then jack his life up a little more.”
