About the Author
Born in Liverpool, Tim moved with his family to a sleepy and introverted seaside town on the South Wales coast in the late 1970s, setting a lifelong pattern of alienation and a discomfort with the status quo. After a youth (mis)spent working a variety of jobs taken primarily to secure cash for gigs, and an education in behavioral psychology and anthropology, Tim made a truly life changing move to America and then Canada. Whilst there, he taught marksmanship and riflery, worked in radio, both producing and presenting, and dipped into the life of road crew and guitar technician for various punk bands across the US and Canada. It was this period in his life that cemented Tim's resolve to mix his passion for music, his desire to write and his talent for human observation. On his return to the UK, Tim created and produced Mass Movement, a music and lifestyle fanzine, that has evolved over the years way beyond it's humble photocopied origins into the hugely respected and often imitated punk rock institution it is today. Tim has been married for eight years and is the adoring father of a two year old little girl, to whom this book is dedicated.

Washed up? No way dude!,

This review is from: Compression: A Novel of Sex, Drugs, Punk Rock and Dark Hidden Secrets (Paperback)
Tim's book is amazing, especially if you've ever been an aspiring rock star. Here we meet a character who has fame and fortune but no happiness and has to reconcile his past with his present. The tale is well told with a spark that many books lack. This is a winner for sure!

Toptastic must for all book worms,
This review is from: Compression (Hardcover)
This book was an awesome and gripping read. One that you won't want to put down once you started. The story, characters and situations are realistic enough for you to get engrossed in them and you can't help but create images in your head while you're reading it.
Awesome stuff and can't wait for this author to write / release his next book
