DIY Writer #40 TJ Altieri

TJ and I talk about his books, kayaking, his work at the zoo, and several other topics including his day job as a teacher. I asked him to come back on again in January so we could talk about his extensive research about ancient Celts. https://sites.google.com/site/theancientcelts/about-the-author .

About T.J. Altieri

As an author, TJ Altieri has dedicated himself to challenging paradigms and eliciting deep social commentary in a thoroughly engaging way for the reader. By fusing genres and counterbalancing perspectives, he compels the reader to engage in questions about society and one's own self.

Aside from his most recent crime and political thriller "Controlling Interest", Altieri has written three as of yet unpublished novels in the genres of drama, high fantasy and science fiction. He considers the factor that drives and unites all of his stories to be the empathy and humanity we feel through his characters and how they make us reflect on our own decisions.

Outside of fiction, TJ Altieri has completed historical treatises in archaeology, anthropology, and gender studies. When not writing, he works as a history educator in Connecticut Public Schools and as conservationist working to preserve wildlife, in and out of human care, at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo
