Troy Pendleton

Biography

I started writing when he was in seventh grade. With my overactive imagination, I wrote a short story for a class that was later printed in the local paper. It was the first thing in my life that I was extremely proud of. My teacher, Mrs. Scott, saw my talent and encouraged me to continue to write. I did just that for a couple of years but like most kids found interest in other things. After setting aside my love of writing and drawing as a teen, I returned to it as a young man and started writing stories and creating comic book characters. Using my children, loved ones, and friends as inspiration, I have created over a hundred characters and stories that I still hope to publish. I’ve always considered myself more of a creator than a writer, so I spent two decades looking for a collaborator and in 2017 I found not one but two people willing to write with me. After several collaborations with Charles Little Jr and Tammy Dale, I feel like he can finally write on my own. I am grateful for everything I have learned from them and others, and I set out to write the second and third novels in the Sheriff Carter Link series. I plan to continue on with the novels I have started along with creating new stories and characters. I also hope that someday I can help others with their dreams of becoming published authors.

Smashwords Interview

Who are your favorite authors?
Stan Lee. I consider myself more of a creator than an author. What I really wanted to do was create comic book characters. I have well that I have created over the year but was unable to do anything with them. The process of creating the character from nothing is so much fun for me. I turned to books an outlet for my overactive imagination. Don't get me wrong I enjoy writing the books and creating the stories but my first love will always be comics.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
A bad back...lol. No, I have a great wife and good life. That's plenty to get me out of bed.
