Jamie T. Hines

Jamie T. Hines road to publication was bumpy. Writing had always been a hobby for him. He never entered contests or won awards, but he knew how to create an incredible story and write a plot. His plotting skills led to many submissions to soap operas that went nowhere. After years of dabbling in sports in high school and never fully committing to any one sport, he pursued a degree in advertising but never really felt passionate about that pursuit. What he took away from his college experience were skills that would follow him to his long-time career, where he works in a children facility with teens and preteens. There, he’s found a “home.” He has never had children of his own but considers the many children he guides, cares for, and oversees daily. This job, besides writing, has been one of the most rewarding things he’s done. When he’s not working or dreaming up new stories to share with the world, Jamie enjoys life in his upstate New York home.
