Tim Powers

Timothy Thomas Powers (Buffalo, New York, 29 februari 1952) is een Amerikaanse sciencefiction- en fantasyschrijver. Zijn werken kunnen gekenschetst worden als 'verborgen geschiedenissen' (secret histories) - hij gebruikt werkelijke, gedocumenteerde historische gebeurtenissen en laat ze van een andere kant zien, waarbij magie een belangrijke rol speelt in de motivaties en acties van de hoofdpersonen. Powers groeide op in Californië, waar zijn familie in 1959 naartoe verhuisde. Hij studeerde Engelse literatuur aan California State University - Fullerton, waar hij bevriend raakte met James Blaylock en K.W. Jeter, met wie hij af en toe samen publiceert.
