Timothy Thomas Powers (born February 29, 1952) is an American science fiction and fantasy author.
One notable characteristic of most of his works is that they use the device of secret history: he uses actual, documented historical events, but shows another view of them in which magic is a major moving force in the motivations and actions of the characters.
Powers was born in Buffalo, New York, and grew up in California, where his Roman Catholic family moved in 1959. He studied English Literature at Cal State Fullerton, where he first met James Blaylock and K. W. Jeter, both of whom remained close friends and occasional collaborators. Another friend he first met during this period (but unlike Blaylock and Jeter, not a fellow student) was Philip K. Dick; the character named "David" in Dick's novel VALIS is based on Powers.
