Tweed is an author (obviously). He’s also black belts in some Japanese martial arts, plays a silly number of instruments, and likes to make things – from custom arcade machines to hand-carved guitars. After writing a bunch of books during quarantine, he decided to go back to school to study veterinary (wildlife) medicine. The exams and essays have significantly slowed his ability to write books, but he promises to keep producing a couple of books per year. Tweed has over two decades of experience in music production and publishing, working in the studio and on tour alongside several influential and award-winning artists. He spent the same twenty-some years earning a ‘real’ living as a web and graphic designer. These experiences come together in several of his books, such as his time on tour and in the studio being used as fodder for both the Rockstar Nobody series and his non-fiction book about how to be a DIY musician. As the Executive Editor at Squill Publishing, he lends his knowledge and skills to up-and-coming authors and artists. He enjoys creating a world outside of his novels. Rockstar Nobody includes a full album of original music 'performed' by the band the story follows. A psychedelic rock-opera interpretation of Patrimonious is in the works for 2024.
