Tim spent way too many years as a rock n roll radio deejay ("town to town, up and down the dial" ) yet somehow survived! His book of poetry and short fiction, LAST TANGO IN TIMBUKTU, was a finalist for 2016 Book Of The Year in the Arizona Authors' Assn. International Literary Competition. His short story, DOG STAR, took First Place honors in the 2017 edition of the same competition, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. PUERTO RICO--THE GOLDEN YEARS (MEMOIRS OF A RACONTEUR RADIO HOST) has been recently released. Tim resides in the southwestern United States, where he feels right at home with the vermin and the varmints of the desert.
