edit data

T. William Watts was born in picturesque Geneva, Illinois. Geneva is 14 miles from the Wade Center; the Wade Center now houses C. S. Lewis' wardrobe and desk and Tolkien's desk. Moving to Tarrytown, New York, his childhood memories included fire hydrants painted to look like people, the delicious varieties of Baskin Robbins, and a moose's head hung in a historic college.

The 'T.' stands for Tim, but the real focus is on 'Watts.' When you look at a light bulb, the measurement of Watts is printed. Plug the light bulb in, turn it on, and you have a room full of color and visual information. The idea behind Watts is inspiration, sparking bright creativity and fresh possibilities for others.

The 'T.' stands for Tim, but the real focus is on 'Watts.' When you look at a light bulb, the measurement of Watts is printed. Plug the light bulb in, turn it on, and you have a room full of color and visual information. The idea behind Watts is inspiration, sparking bright creativity and fresh possibilities for others. Tim William Watts has been greatly inspired, and he wants to pass it on.

Tim's father, Dr. William Watts, taught as physics professor at King's College. The old King's College stood 5 miles from Tarrytown, the setting for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Bill Watts grew up the son of a farmer. One day he mistakenly took a bag of chickenfeed to school in place of his lunch. Dr. Watts was a book enthusiast and a man of exceptional character; unfortunately, we lost him to cancer in 1980. His devotion to his family, his students, and his Lord left a powerful impact that would guide Tim in later years. Among the last words straining through a tattered body came "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose."

After many years of passionate studies in Bible, math, and biology, Tim received a fine parchment from SUNY Albany, issuing him a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. Though Tim never considered himself a writer, the power of imagination greatly intrigued him. His beautiful wife now leads the church worship, his children carry vivid imaginations and bright talent, and his mini-schnauzers expend more energy than they weigh. Clearly, lack of inspiration is not a problem for Tim. If he's not reading nonfiction, he's seeking for the footprints of a character where he would sink his own feet and follow. So naturally, that's the story Tim loves to write. He invites you to read his first young-at-heart fantasy, nominated for a 2013 INSPY award.

"In my first book A Hummen in Spiral Gorge, I looked into how one would travel there, what would set it apart from just another dreamland, and the histories of various creatures. In so doing, I discovered new creatures and envisioned a loving creator tied to a struggling world. I hope to draw your feet into the footsteps of Dwenzuak the dwargen, or Reminim the gnome. And if you're thinking the red-capped garden variety of gnome, you have no idea..." ...more

“…Amongst these legends of dragon hoards,
Where secret, precious things are stored,
There golden nugget and diamond shard,
There treasure-keeper hoped to guard.
As bolted doorway securely braced,
hoping its treasures to ever hold,
hoping beyond when time grows old,
So stood the keeper in its place.
A statue of unrelenting stance
Still stands victim to happenstance,
For treasure-keeper did not bargain
on a bit of chance and a bit of dwargen…”
- Dwenzuak the dwargen”
