Timothy Kay grew up in the second generation of the San Francisco counterculture, when the desire to be weird gave birth to the world of the wired.

He wrote his first web fiction in 1996, using the relatively new tool of “hyperlinks” between pages. Sixteen years later, the future of publishing is uncertain, and the tools have grown for more ambitious experiments in format and ways to engage an audience.

He attended Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon, until a tragic accident with a particle accelerator left him unable to make contact with ordinary matter for several years.

Undaunted, he finished several screenplays before returning to prose, to San Francisco, and to molecular cohesion.

He has appeared in shows at The Dark Room since 2009.

He made the finals of the 2011 SF Bay Area Air Guitar Regional Championships.

He is currently harboring no llamas at his home in San Francisco.
