From a very early age, T.M. Camp has been making up stories and then writing them down. There is no reason to expect that he will stop any time soon.

In addition to his long career in advertising, T.M. has written over thirty plays, numerous short stories and poems, and two novels.

His plays have been produced by theatres in California, Michigan, Iowa, and Tennessee. A few of his scripts have even won awards. One of his plays — “The Red Boy” — broke into the top ten of the 2001 Writer’s Digest playscript competition.

In 2007, T.M. finished his first novel “Assam & Darjeeling“, following it up with the novella “Matters of Mortology” in early 2008. In addition to a number of smaller, ongoing projects, T.M. is currently at work on his third novel, entitled “Pantheon”.

In all of his work, T.M. explores boundaries — The boundaries between worlds… boundaries between the physical and the supernatural… the boundaries between people… and the boundaries within ourselves.

T.M. Camp is actively seeking formal representation for his writing. Inquires from interested agents and publishers are most welcome.

“Boring, third-person exposition aside, here’s a few marginally more interesting facts about me…”

1. Ever since I was young, I’ve averaged about three and a half hours of sleep a night; presumably there is a big nap out there somewhere with my name on it.
2. I have the name of a Roman god tattooed on my right shoulder.
3. I have never looked through a telescope.
4. The aptitude test I took in high school identified “Exorcist” as the career path best suited to my gifts.
5. My domestic arrangement includes one very attractive young woman, two children of variable size and temperament, two cats, and a fairly shy little ghost.
6. I’ve changed residence approximately twenty times. That averages out to about once every two years since I was born. This has made me the stable and well adjusted person I am today.
7. Back in the ’90s, I worked in politics and had the opportunity to shake the hand of every living president in a single afternoon despite the fact that I’d never voted for any of them.
8. When I dream, my dreams all occur in the same place — a self-contained dreamworld with its own regions, recurring characters, and neighborhoods. Sometimes I wonder if there’s another Me out there somewhere, dreaming of this place.
9. To my shame, I screen my calls, am terrible at returning messages, invariably neglect to send thank you notes and holiday cards, and have every intention of being more conscientious about all of these things before it’s too late and everyone I know thinks of me with nothing short of permanent hate.
10. I never lie, but you should assume that at least one of these things is not true.
