Tyner is a Storyteller, Lawman, Cloud Watcher, and Scotch Drinker. He grew up wanting to be Conan the Barbarian, but when his high-school guidance counsellor told him that wasn’t an option, he settled for a career in law enforcement and started writing stories. He lives and works in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia with a girl who is too good for him and three moderately chubby cats.
