== Early life ==
Tim Sullivan was born on June 9, 1948, in [[Bangor, Maine]],<ref name= "Clute">{{cite web |url= http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/sullivan_tim |author= Clute, John |authorlink=John Clute |date= March 12, 2013 |title= Sullivan, Tim |publisher= ''[[The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction]]'' |accessdate= August 4, 2013}}</ref> the son of Charles Sullivan, a postal worker (born on [[Groundhog Day]]: February 2, 19--), and Lillian Sullivan, a stay-at-home mother (dates), who raised the children. Timothy had an older brother, Charles (February -1967). Tim and Charles both developed a love of genre fiction from their father, who was a constant reader, and who would bring home all sorts of books and comics, from [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] to [[Vladimir Nabokov]]'s ''[[Lolita]]'' to ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad magazine]]''.
Tim grew up enjoying and sharing comic books with the other children of his neighborhood. Charles and Timothy attended [[John Bapst Memorial High School]] in Bangor, (the same school from which Tabitha Bruce, [[Stephen King]]'s wife, graduated). Charles died in the [[Vietnam War]]. When Sullivan’s father died in 1968, Sullivan and his mother moved to [[Lake Worth, Florida]].
Tim Sullivan briefly attended [[Miami Dade College|Miami Dade Community College].
While studying English literature at [[Florida Atlantic University]], he made lifelong friends. Sullivan earned a bachelor's degree while studying with [[Thomas Burnett Swann]]. He also became friends with Professor [[Robert A. Collins]]. Collins and Sullivan created what has become the prestigious [[International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts]] (ICFA). Sullivan began but did not complete [[postgraduate education]].

== Career ==
Sullivan has written several novels and many more short stories. He has scripted, directed, and starred in [[Low-budget film|microbudget films]] in the genres of science fiction and horror.

=== Writing ===
Sullivan lived in Florida from (19— to 198-), and then moved to southern California in 1988, where he lived for the next twelve years. He edited a [[Horror fiction|horror]] [[anthology]] for [[Avon (publisher)|Avon Books]], ''Tropical Chills'', in 1988. Sullivan published his first novel, ''Destiny's End'', in 1988. This science fiction novel was followed by ''The Parasite War'' in 1989, ''The Martian Viking'' in 1991, and ''Lords of Creation'' in 1992, and another horror anthology, ''Cold Shocks'' (Avon, 1991), among other books.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Sullivan reviewed science fiction for the Washington Post Book World.
He has used different versions of his names while publishing fiction: Timothy Robert Sullivan, Timothy R. Sullivan, and Tim Sullivan.

=== Acting ===
Sullivan began his career in film in a collaborated film with [[S. P. Somtow]], entitled ''The Laughing Dead'' (1989); Sullivan plays Father O'Sullivan, who becomes possessed by a [[Maya religion|Mayan god of death]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097718/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl |title= Plot Summary for ''The Laughing Dead'' (1989) |publisher= [[Internet Movie Database]] |accessdate= August 4, 2013}}</ref> Throughout the 1990s, he scripted and acted in several [[Low-budget film|micro-budget]] science fiction and [[horror film]]s, most notably ''Twilight of the Dogs'' (1995) and ''Hollywood Mortuary'' (1998), galvanating the script by Ron Ford as actor-turned-zombie Pratt Borokov, a thinly disguised [[Boris Karloff]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200714/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl |title= Plot Summary for ''Hollywood Mortuary'' (1998) (V) |publisher= [[Internet Movie Database]] |accessdate= August 4, 2013}}</ref> [[John Clute]] writes that Sullivan "concentrated for almost a decade on an acting career, though he began to publish short stories again in 2000."<ref name= "Clute" />

== Personal life ==
After graduating from college, Sullivan lived in [[Southern California]] for many years, in such neighborhoods as [[Silver Lake, Los Angeles]]. He has never married nor had children.
In 2000, Sullivan left [[Southern California]] for South Florida in order to care for his ailing mother. In 2003, he moved to [[South Miami, Florida]], to share a house with [[science fiction]] [[critic]] Fiona Kelleghan. There, he continues to write fiction.

Sullivan calls himself an [[Agnosticism|agnostic]], philosophically, and is a constant reader. His bookshelf is filled with some science fiction favorites, but also with the works of science popularizers, biographies, and histories. He is a prolific contributor to the Classic Horror Film Board forums. He maintains a [[Facebook]] page. He has two cats, Mischka and Boris.

=== Literary friendships ===
Sullivan enjoys spending time with friends who are also writers; he has shared rooms with fantasy authors [[S. P. Somtow]] and [[Gregory Frost]]. He enjoyed traveling, as with Mike Berlin and Steve; became friends with several [[Clarion Workshop]] graduates such as [[Kim Stanley Robinson]]. He has long been friends with [[Gardner Dozois]], [[John Kessel]], [[James Patrick Kelly]], and [[Michael Swanwick]], to the extent that he is part of a group of writers named the Savage Humanists by anthologist [[Fiona Kelleghan]] (these also include [[Connie Willis]], [[Jonathan Lethem]], [[Robert J. Sawyer]], and [[James K. Morrow]].

== Critical response ==
[[John Clute]] writes that Sullivan "began publishing sf with stories like "Tachyon Rag" ... "My Father's Head" ... and "The Rauncher Goes to Tinker Town" ... tales whose sophistication led to some disappointment when his first-published novels turned out to be three ties to the ''V'' Television series, a series of exercises in easy Paranoia set in an America taken over by Aliens... The published order of Sullivan's books was, however, deceptive, as his first-written novel, ''Destiny's End'' (1988), had suffered delays and modifications at the hands of the publisher to which it had first been contracted. The book proved to be a complexly moody depiction of humanity at the end of its tether in an array of Dying-Earth venues, as Secret Masters from the stars with quasimagical Technologies manipulate the course of events. Other sf of interest included ''The Parasite War'' (1989), which garishly intensifies the premises of ''V'' with a few scattered humans engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Aliens who have nearly destroyed the planet; ''The Martian Viking'' (1991), in which a prisoner escapes from Mars and roams space and time with stern but rowdy Vikings; and ''Lords of Creation'' (1992), which combines palaeontological fantasy including dinosaur eggs and another alien Invasion."<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.sf-encyclopedia.com/archives/sullivan_tim/70603 |author= Clute, John |authorlink=John Clute |date= March 12, 2013 |title= Sullivan, Tim |publisher= ''[[The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction]]'' |accessdate= August 4, 2013}}</ref>

[[Fiona Kelleghan]] wrote

Christine Hawkins, in her online Mars in Science Fiction Bibliography, described Martian V as “reminiscent of Philip K. Dick.”<ref>{{cite web |url= |author= Hawkins, Christine |date= |title= Sullivan, Tim: ‘’Martian Viking’’ |publisher= [[SciFan]] |accessdate= August 5, 2013}}</ref> The reviewer of the Schlock Value review website said, in a mostly positive review:
“It’s a well-established fact that the two coolest things ever are Vikings and Mars, and now, thanks to Tim Sullivan, we get both of them in one convenient package. How could this book be anything but great? Unfortunately, The Martian Viking deals a lot less with Vikings than we were promised, although Mars does feature quite prominently, and as far as crapsack future societies go, the book does present us with a pretty interesting one…. The world we are presented with is a fairly interesting form of dystopia… All-in-all, The Martian Viking was a pretty fun read. It sort of petered out at the end there, and its treatment of women and homosexuals varied between progressive and truly awful, but Tim Sullivan managed to set up a really interesting future world.” <ref>{{cite web |url= http://schlockvalue.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/the-martian-viking/ |author= Anderson, Thomas |date= February 24, 2013 |title= ''The Martian Viking'' by Tim Sullivan |publisher= Schlock Value |accessdate= August 5, 2013}}</ref>

Tim Sullivan (author)

Timothy Robert Sullivan, who more commonly uses the name Tim Sullivan, is an American novelist, screenwriter, actor, film director and short story writer. Many of his stories have been critically acknowledged and reprinted; his short story "Zeke" was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Short Story, and is among his many reprinted stories.

Early life

Tim Sullivan was born on June 9, 1948, in Bangor, Maine,[2] the son of Charles Sullivan, a postal worker (born on Groundhog Day: February 2, 19--), and Lillian Sullivan, a stay-at-home mother (dates), who raised the children. Timothy had an older brother, Charles (February -1967). Tim and Charles both developed a love of genre fiction from their father, who was a constant reader, and who would bring home all sorts of books and comics, from Edgar Rice Burroughs to Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita to Mad magazine. Tim grew up enjoying and sharing comic books with the other children of his neighborhood. Charles and Timothy attended John Bapst Memorial High School in Bangor, (the same school from which Tabitha Bruce, Stephen King's wife, graduated). Charles died in the Vietnam War. When Sullivan’s father died in 1968, Sullivan and his mother moved to Lake Worth, Florida. Tim Sullivan briefly attended [[Miami Dade College|Miami Dade Community College]. While studying English literature at Florida Atlantic University, he made lifelong friends. Sullivan earned a bachelor's degree while studying with Thomas Burnett Swann. He also became friends with Professor Robert A. Collins. Collins and Sullivan created what has become the prestigious International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts (ICFA). Sullivan began but did not complete postgraduate education.

Career

Sullivan has written several novels and many more short stories. He has scripted, directed, and starred in microbudget films in the genres of science fiction and horror.

Writing

Sullivan lived in Florida from (19— to 198-), and then moved to southern California in 1988, where he lived for the next twelve years. He edited a horror anthology for Avon Books, Tropical Chills, in 1988. Sullivan published his first novel, Destiny's End, in 1988. This science fiction novel was followed by The Parasite War in 1989, The Martian Viking in 1991, and Lords of Creation in 1992, and another horror anthology, Cold Shocks (Avon, 1991), among other books. In the 1980s and 1990s, Sullivan reviewed science fiction for the Washington Post Book World. He has used different versions of his names while publishing fiction: Timothy Robert Sullivan, Timothy R. Sullivan, and Tim Sullivan.

Acting

Sullivan began his career in film in a collaborated film with S. P. Somtow, entitled The Laughing Dead (1989); Sullivan plays Father O'Sullivan, who becomes possessed by a Mayan god of death.[3] Throughout the 1990s, he scripted and acted in several micro-budget science fiction and horror films, most notably Twilight of the Dogs (1995) and Hollywood Mortuary (1998), galvanating the script by Ron Ford as actor-turned-zombie Pratt Borokov, a thinly disguised Boris Karloff.[4] John Clute writes that Sullivan "concentrated for almost a decade on an acting career, though he began to publish short stories again in 2000."[2]

Personal life

After graduating from college, Sullivan lived in Southern California for many years, in such neighborhoods as Silver Lake, Los Angeles. He has never married nor had children. In 2000, Sullivan left Southern California for South Florida in order to care for his ailing mother. In 2003, he moved to South Miami, Florida, to share a house with science fiction critic Fiona Kelleghan. There, he continues to write fiction.

Sullivan calls himself an agnostic, philosophically, and is a constant reader. His bookshelf is filled with some science fiction favorites, but also with the works of science popularizers, biographies, and histories. He is a prolific contributor to the Classic Horror Film Board forums. He maintains a Facebook page. He has two cats, Mischka and Boris.

Literary friendships

Sullivan enjoys spending time with friends who are also writers; he has shared rooms with fantasy authors S. P. Somtow and Gregory Frost. He enjoyed traveling, as with Mike Berlin and Steve; became friends with several Clarion Workshop graduates such as Kim Stanley Robinson. He has long been friends with Gardner Dozois, John Kessel, James Patrick Kelly, and Michael Swanwick, to the extent that he is part of a group of writers named the Savage Humanists by anthologist Fiona Kelleghan (these also include Connie Willis, Jonathan Lethem, Robert J. Sawyer, and James K. Morrow.

Year Title Role Notes
1989 The Laughing Dead Father O'Sullivan A horror film, featuring zombies and demons amid Aztec ruins, directed by S. P. Somtow for Skouras Pictures.

1994 Ill Met by Moonlight Oberon Somtow directed this film as a modern adaptation William Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. The cast included Timothy Bottoms as Egeus, Edward Bryant as Peter Quince, film-maker Ron Ford[5] as Nick Bottom, Robert Z'Dar as Theseus, and Bill Warren in a minor part. Somtow directed Sullivan to deliver his lines in the voice of Nick Nolte.
1995 Twilight of the Dogs Sam Asgarde A science fiction film directed by John R. Ellis. The trained dog Tex, who appears in the opening minutes of the movie, also "acted" in Sommersby, starring Richard Gere, Jodie Foster, Bill Pullman and James Earl Jones. Sullivan joked later, "The dog was the most famous member of our cast."[6]

Critical response

John Clute writes that Sullivan "began publishing sf with stories like "Tachyon Rag" ... "My Father's Head" ... and "The Rauncher Goes to Tinker Town" ... tales whose sophistication led to some disappointment when his first-published novels turned out to be three ties to the V Television series, a series of exercises in easy Paranoia set in an America taken over by Aliens... The published order of Sullivan's books was, however, deceptive, as his first-written novel, Destiny's End (1988), had suffered delays and modifications at the hands of the publisher to which it had first been contracted. The book proved to be a complexly moody depiction of humanity at the end of its tether in an array of Dying-Earth venues, as Secret Masters from the stars with quasimagical Technologies manipulate the course of events. Other sf of interest included The Parasite War (1989), which garishly intensifies the premises of V with a few scattered humans engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Aliens who have nearly destroyed the planet; The Martian Viking (1991), in which a prisoner escapes from Mars and roams space and time with stern but rowdy Vikings; and Lords of Creation (1992), which combines palaeontological fantasy including dinosaur eggs and another alien Invasion."[11]

Fiona Kelleghan wrote

Christine Hawkins, in her online Mars in Science Fiction Bibliography, described Martian V as “reminiscent of Philip K. Dick.”[12] The reviewer of the Schlock Value review website said, in a mostly positive review: “It’s a well-established fact that the two coolest things ever are Vikings and Mars, and now, thanks to Tim Sullivan, we get both of them in one convenient package. How could this book be anything but great? Unfortunately, The Martian Viking deals a lot less with Vikings than we were promised, although Mars does feature quite prominently, and as far as crapsack future societies go, the book does present us with a pretty interesting one…. The world we are presented with is a fairly interesting form of dystopia… All-in-all, The Martian Viking was a pretty fun read. It sort of petered out at the end there, and its treatment of women and homosexuals varied between progressive and truly awful, but Tim Sullivan managed to set up a really interesting future world.” [13]
