Tim Byrd and The Blogs of Doom

Hello, and welcome to the online headquarters of Doc Wilde and his amazing family.

I'm Tim Byrd, and I'm a writer. In May 2009, G.P. Putnam's Sons is going to publish my first novel, Doc Wilde and The Frogs of Doom. The book is the first of a series depicting the adventures of Doctor Spartacus Wilde, super-scientist, gadgeteer, physical exemplar, warrior, and the coolest dad in the world except for me.

Doc has two brilliantly capable kids, Brian and Wren, who join him for his perilous travels, often saving the day (and the planet) themselves.

Anyone who enjoys grand old pulp adventure in the Doc Savage/Indiana Jones/The Shadow style should enjoy Doc Wilde. It's written for young readers, but full of literary allusion and other stuff for smart folks of all ages.
