Tim Maleeny

Biographie :

Tim Maleeny was born in New Jersey, the second son of an organic chemist and a registered nurse.

After graduating from Dartmouth College with a degree in Computer Science, Tim attended Columbia Business School in a vain attempt to figure out what he wanted to do when he grew up. Deciding it might be better to forestall growing up altogether, Tim pursued a career in advertising.

But after years of claustrophobic conference rooms and endless meetings, Tim began to daydream of murder and mayhem. Rather than act out his impulses, he figured it would be more socially acceptable to write them down. His clients and colleagues greatly appreciated his restraint and have been incredibly supportive of his writing ever since.

Tim was a resident of Manhattan for a number of years but has traveled all over the world. Today he lives in San Francisco with his beautiful wife and two lovely daughters.

Tim Maleeny est né en 1962 à New Jersey. Après des études en Sciences de l'Informatique et peu enclin à poursuivre des études supérieures, il se lance dans une carrière de publicitaire. Après des années où il ne compte plus les réunions de travail et les conférences, confiné dans des bureaux, lui vient l'idée d'écrire un roman policier qui lui servirait en quelque sorte de substitut "socialement correct" pour évacuer ses idées de "meurtre": ainsi naît Le vol du dragon paru en 2008 aux Éditions AdA.
