About the Author
Taym Saffar is a Grade 8 student living in Rothesay, New Brunswick, with a profound love for writing. He’s cultivated this love for prose and storytelling since he was in Grade 4 when a great teacher encouraged him to write to his heart’s content. He’s been an avid wordsmith in the years since and has written three novels thus far, one of which – The Lake – he’s self-published under the pseudonym “Normaal Slavinski.” He also plays the piano, which he finds connects him to his favourite genre, classical music, and imbues him with daily inspiration for stories. Apart from writing and playing music, Taym enjoys running, reading, playing chess, and sports, especially soccer, which he pursues casually. He reads many genres, recently, classics ranging from The Lord of the Rings to Crime and Punishment. Lately, he’s begun writing poetry rather than prose, finding himself particularly influenced by the works of William Shakespeare.
