TIM I. GURUNG

He joined the British Gurkhas at 17 as his grandfathers and

uncles did before him. He realized he wasn’t cut out for the regimented life within

the next five years, though. However, he somehow carried on for the next 13

years and eventually retired in 1993 as an Army Corporal. Then, he found a job in

an international firm inspecting furniture in newly-opening-up China and worked

there for the next seven years before starting his own business. He worked as

a businessman for the next 15 years while raising his young family at the same

time. Before his 50th birthday, he made a life-changing decision and became a fulltime

writer in 2015. Since then, he learned the trade from scratch, published

twelve novels, and the Gurkha book his 15th book.
