January 2023 Notable Author:
Tim Cockey
| |
|
Tim Cockey is the author of The Hearse You Came In On, the first in the “Hearse” series starring Hitchcock Sewell; a dapper undertaker caught up in murder investigations, political blackmail, dirty videos, and corruption within the police department.
Cockey was born in 1955 in Baltimore, Maryland and spent his childhood there. He completed his education overseas and then returned to Baltimore after graduation to work for a local paper. His work was advertising sales and design as well as book reviews.
While young, he knew he wanted to write, especially after reading DC comics’ Batman series as well as Howard Pyle’s Robin Hood'. He liked the idea of outsiders taking drastic or heroic efforts to stop evil and help good.
After a stint in North Carolina, he moved to New York City and promptly wrote The Hearse You Came In On.
This was after his first book remained unpublished. The book became A Book Sense "Top Ten" pick and was nominated for a Dilys Award. His third book, The Hearse Case Scenario won the "Lefty Award" from the Left Coast Crime Association. The Hearse series runs to four books. In addition to writing books, Tim has been a story analyst for American Playhouse, ABC, and Hallmark Entertainment.
Tim Cockey also writes under the pen name of Richard Hawke.
