Tim O'Mara

TIM O’MARA is best known for his Raymond Donne mysteries about an ex-cop who now teaches in the same Williamsburg, Brooklyn, neighborhood he once policed: "Sacrifice Fly" (2012), "Crooked Numbers" (2013), "Dead Red" (2015), "Nasty Cutter" (2017), and "The Hook" (anticipated 2020 release by Severn House Publishers).

O’Mara’s novellas "Smoked" and "Jammed" appear respectively in the crime trilogies "Triple Shot" (2016) and "Three Strikes" (2018) from Down & Out Books, and his short story "The Tip" is featured in the 2016 anthology "Unloaded: Crime Writers Writing Without Guns."

O’Mara taught special education for 30 years in the public middle schools of New York City, where he now teaches adult writing workshops and still lives. O’Mara is currently writing the stand-alone high-school-based crime drama "So Close to Me" and will celebrate his editorial debut in April 2019 with "Down to the River," a crime anthology of 22 short stories supporting the mission of the non-profit American Rivers.
