Tim Svart was born in September 1976 and started writing stories about ghosts and vampires while still at school. He co-wrote the script for a vampire musical and directed it himself (since he could neither sing nor sufficiently master a musical instrument, but desperately wanted to take part in the production). Tim’s first novel ‘The Castle’, a horror thriller and tribute to Richard Layman, was the Amazon #1 horror bestseller for over two months and hit the overall KINDLE Top 10. The radio play of the book appeared as episode 9 in the series ‘Dark Mysteries’. Tim’s homage to H.P Lovecraft, ‘Music of Darkness’, was nominated best German-language horror/mystery short story for the ‘VINCENT PREIS’. The original German-language edition of ‘Sacrifice’, part one of the Karre and Viktoria crime thriller series, hit #3 on the KINDLE bestseller list. Tim lives in Germany. He is married with two children.
