Tim Rayborn has written a huge number of books (about fifty at present!) and magazine articles (more than thirty!), especially in subjects such as music, the arts, general knowledge, the strange and bizarre, speculative fiction, and history of all kinds.
He is planning to write more books, whether anyone wants him to or not. He lived in England for several years and studied at the University of Leeds for his PhD, which means he likes to pretend that he knows what he’s talking about.
He’s also an almost-famous musician who plays many medieval and traditional instruments that most people of have never heard of and usually can’t pronounce. He has appeared on more than forty recordings, and his musical wanderings and tours have taken him across the US, all over Europe, to Canada and Australia, and to such romantic locations as medieval Umbrian towns, Marrakech, Vienna, Renaissance châteux, medieval churches, and high school gymnasiums.
He currently lives in Washington State with many books, recordings, and instruments. Though not as much of a mixed drink enthusiast as some, he’s quite fond of good wines, quality single malt scotch, and cooking excellent food.
