Sojka, Timothy Gene: - Sojka is a child of addiction, and an addict himself. He's been lost in the Piney Woods, witnessed death intimately, and swam the Neches River in the very spot others drowned. He is a member of a darkly secretive family.This story is fiction, but these characters are real to him. Sojka trapped snapping turtles in their ditches, stole pecans from their yards, and dug night crawlers from under their homes. In 39, Sojka, did not just write what he knew, he exposed who he is... the warts, the wins, and most importantly, the losses.Sojka lives in Southeast, Texas, runs so he can eat Tex-Mex and paddle boards for stress relief.
