A long time ago, Tim heeded some bad advice. "You'll never make a living as a writer." So it remained a hobby for a long time. A secret one too. Who wants to admit publicly that one is a writer? Eventually he fumbled his way through. First with comic books back in the heyday of DIY alternative comics before turning to screenwriting where he actually had three movies produced from his work. But film is a tough collaborative gig where too many cooks in the kitchen produces mediocre results. Then along came the new world of ebooks and self-publishing, of rolling up one's sleeves and doing it yourself. The rest is history waiting to be written. Tim lives in Toronto with his wife and two children.
