With a new month comes a new featured author...
I am happy to tell you that for May, we have gracing the blog,
DENNIS TIMOTHY!!
Dennis Timothy is a very creative writer of some amazingly suspenseful stories and we hope you have a ball getting to know him!
I have lived in the state of Nebraska all of my
life. Presently, I live in the small
village of Dodge; population eight hundred.
I was raised in the country south of Nebraska
City, which is the home of Arbor Day. My
earliest memories are of one-roomed schools houses, raising farm animals,
tending gardens, and generally being self-reliant.
In addition to writing I enjoy photography, and
some of my photographs have been published by The Omaha World Herald. I also enjoy gardening, walks in the woods,
the Rocky Mountains, and shooting sports. I have three houseplants and a spoiled
little terrier named Colby.
I started writing over twenty years ago when I
was asked to provide editorial content for a local paper, The Patriot Whistle.
I went on to produce my own monthly publication for readers who collected and
restored antique farm equipment.
To prepare myself for writing I took writing
classes from the local community college and joined the Nebraska Writers Guild.
The Guild has really inspired me, and holds so much talent. Its members include
Alex Kava, Victorine Lieske, Mary Connealy, Gina Barlean, Sally J. Walker, and
dozens and dozens of talented writers. I have learned so much from all of them.
I had my first short story published by Golden
Visions Magazine in 2011. I have their acceptance framed and on the wall with
numerous framed rejection letters. The readers response to “Found Them”, which
appeared in the summer issue, encouraged me to continue writing and publishing
my material. This story is also found in my latest book One Heartbeat Past
Normal.
My first book, Merry Hell, was outlined while I
was staying at a cabin on the Big Thompson River, near Estes Park, at the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains. One
Heartbeat Past Normal was mostly written while I rented a cabin in Mahoney
State Park. I work fulltime, so I try to schedule four writing vacations a
year. I write as catch can otherwise, but I am most productive when I can
concentrate on just writing. During these quarterly writing fits I over imbibe
on coffee, forego shaving, and will maybe shower twice.
I am currently in the final stages of completing
an epic story, The Whiskey Scrolls, and hope to release it this year.
You can follow, stalk, and message him here!
