In his latest work, 'Just A Song Before I Go', Timothy Bryant gathered his own personal experience as both a published songwriter and musician in order to make the character of Joseph Scallettio come to life. To date, Bryant has also written one other novel; a short-story; transcribed a Civil War diary, and transcribed a collection of love letters from the late 20's. He is presently penning a series of children's books, as well as starting on his next novel. Tim's favorite book is The Bible; though also enjoys an assortment of romantic comedies, historical, and thrillers. While reading 'Just A Song Before I Go', you will discover many elements that inspired Tim; such as personal compassions, understandings, as well as day-to-day realities. However, the basis of this story is his belief that everyone can love. And from that love, how some are left with a past haunting of how their lives might have turned out differently from a love gone by. A 'what if' if you would.
