About the Author
Writing under both his own name, and the pen name Alyn Troy, our author's teenage insistence on spending time with his nose in books, living in fictitious worlds inhabited by sword-wielding heroes, amateur sleuths, dastardly deeds, and magic, gave him the foundations for creating his magical worlds where magic, murder, and snarky talking cats collide on a daily basis.
Troy spent a decade as a news photographer, and two more decades as a wedding photographer. Eventually, he and his wife moved to the smog-filled streets of Los Angeles.
He found himself sitting on a tiny balcony outside their equally tiny apartment. While his wife pursued her career, he used the memories of his epic fantasy, and crime–(fiction)–filled childhood to create the world found in his stories.
He writes Epic Fantasy under Troy A. Hill.
A simple switch of his first two names gave him the pen name Alyn Troy to take on the world of snarky talking cats, murder, and magic in the Cozy Mystery series of Mystic Brews, and its companion series Pixie Twist and Eerie Falls.
