Entertaining Through Words

A.J. Tyler’s love for writing began at 16 when he read Dalton Trumbo’s “Johnny Got His Gun.” The author’s ability to immerse Tyler into the mind of the wounded soldier, made him realize the power of writing. Tyler developed a passion for reading, especially thrillers, and dreamt of becoming an author, despite his father’s encouragement to attend business school and earn a Master of Law degree. Tyler’s degrees led him into the business world, providing him with a background that adds authenticity to his writing.

After practicing for 36 years, he sold his consulting business to a public company. Tyler then began consulting with troubled businesses, but his passion for writing was never far away. He satisfied his need to write by creating innovative and imaginative business plans. Along the way, Tyler developed a love for creative cooking and wine. He opened a restaurant and collaborated with numerous other restaurants developing unique menu items and beautiful spaces. He pursued this career for 9 years while secretly working on his manuscripts.

In 2024, Tyler made his initial writing breakthrough by telling the story of how his grandfather, a 12-year-old orphan stowed away on a boat and landed in the United States where he raised a family of four children. That book, Immigrant Men was released in June 2024 and went to #1 in two categories on Amazon.

Now Tyler turns his skills to fiction with the first of three novels featuring his hero, Allen Miller, an analytics expert who solves crimes, Allen Miller. Released on October 2, Death Insured is the first Allen Miller novel and utilizes Tyler’s business and legal experience to unravel the twists and turns of an extensive murder plot.

 Tyler is widowed and has three sons and one grandchild. He resides in Boynton Beach, Florida with his rescue dog, Coco, and is an avid Philadelphia sports fan.
