Zero Point (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692254981)

Tim Fairchild was born and raised in Southern New Jersey where he grew up in a small town named Pleasantville. Upon graduation from High School, and attending St. Petersburg College in Florida, he went to work for New Jersey Bell Telephone and made a thirty-two year career with them; retiring as a Central Office Switchman from Verizon Communications in 2003. Fairchild is married to his wonderful wife Beverley for thirty-four years now and has two daughters, Melissa and Kristen. During the years between 2000 and 2003, Fairchild discovered a taste for travel and discovering new cultures with four mission trips. Two were to Honduras and one to Belize to help with hurricane relief. The final one in 2003 was to Chosica, Peru. In 2011, Fairchild and his wife moved to their current home in the beautiful state of Maine where he now writes full time. Strongly influenced by such authors as Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy, plus having a strong interest in adventure in exotic locales, history, and science, it was only natural that Fairchild chose the genre of adventure. Fairchild has successfully completed two courses in writing fiction, and with his new-found knowledge, applied it to his writing style. Fairchild's first action adventure novel, ZERO POINT, was finally completed and released in 2011 and was a Grand Master Finalist in the Clive Cussler Collectors Society's 2012 Adventure Writers Competition.
