Tim Anderson was raised on a farm near San Antonio, Texas. He spent his childhood collecting artifacts found on his family's farms, and honing his lithic illustration skills. He began his writing career at the age of 16 when he published his first book, Indian Artifacts of South Texas, printed in 1989. Related activities included the mastery of flintknapping, heat treating, and experimenting with atlatls and darts. Tim's understanding of local geology served the public well in his roles as tour guide at Natural Bridge Caverns. He has also conducted flintknapping demonstrations at state parks. These demonstrations were advertised in Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine, and on TV. Tim is currently the Vice President and Senior Editor for the World Flintknapping Society.
