In the past few years, Tim Hatcher has lived on the North Carolina coast with several beach cats, working on Time and Tide: The Vanishing Culture of the North Carolina Coast. He has traveled the world as a quality inspector, and later in life, taught in the field of human resources at NC State and elsewhere. He was also the editor of the Human Resource Development Quarterly. He is an avid saltwater angler, and a semi-professional, still-looking-for-that-big-break musician—a rock, country, Latin, and blues percussionist. Since the first time he drove from his home in East Tennessee to the Outer Banks and saw the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, some five decades ago, Tim Hatcher has had an affection and respect for the NC coast and its people. He has studied and written about its tough people and its fragile environment for the better part of his adult life. This, his first book about the coast’s nature and culture, is the result.
