William V. Timmons began his writing career after 27 years of living and working in over 40 countries of the world. His books reflect numberous events, adventures, and characters encountered along the 'road less traveled'. While serving a a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa, an educational missionary in the Philippines, and a development specialist in Southeast Asia, Timmons has experiences which can only be told in fictional context.
His first book, BECKER'S FARM deals with a subject a little closer to home, that is the 380,000 German prisoners of war incarcerated in the USA. From there, THE MAN IN THE BLACK & WHITE DRESS moves into Cold War Europe and on into his former home, Southeast Asia. BURMA TIGER resulted in a keen interest in 'Kipling's Burma' and social/political events of the 1800s. NEVER PUSH AN ELEPHANT and TROJAN PONY are a mixture of fact and fiction dealing with his 27 years living and working in Africa and Asia.
Timmons has more untold stories in the works.
