OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Creativity through the lens of an author, former CPA, atorney, consultant and grandfather
"Creativity is: circumstance driving outside the box thinking."
AJ Tyler's love for writing began at 16 when he read Dalton Trumbo's
"Johnny Got His Gun." That story's ability to immerse Tyler into the
wounded soldier's mind made him realize the power of writing. Tyler
developed a passion for reading, especially thrillers, and dreamt of
becoming an author, despite his father's encouragement to attend business
school and earn a Master of Laws degree. Tyler's degrees led him into the
business world, providing him with a background that adds authenticity to
his writing.
After practicing for 36 years, he sold his consulting business to a public
company. Tyler then began consulting with troubled businesses, but his
passion for writing was never out of his mind. He satisfied his need to write
by creating innovative and imaginative business plans for his clients. Along
the way, Tyler developed a love for creative cooking and wine. He opened
a restaurant and collaborated with numerous other restaurants, developing
unique menu items and beautiful spaces. He pursued this career for 9
years while secretly working on his manuscripts.
In 2024, Tyler made his initial writing breakthrough by telling the story of
how his grandfather, a 12-year-old orphan, stowed away on a boat and
landed in the United States, where he raised a family of four children. That
book, Immigrant Men, was released in June 2024 and reached #1 in two
categories on Amazon.
Tyler turned his skills to fiction with the release of his first novel, Death
Insured, featuring his hero, Allen Miller, an analytics expert who solves
crimes. Released on October 2, 2024, Death Insured is the first in a series
of Allen Miller novels that incorporate Tyler’s business, personal, and legal
experiences to unravel the twists and turns of extensive murder and other
criminal plots in his tight psychological thrillers.
Tyler is widowed, has three sons, and two grandchildren. He resides in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with his rescue dog, Coco, and is an avid sports
fan and rarely misses a game of his favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
