About Tim: Writing books has always been his passion. Over the years, Tim penned serveral non-fiction tomes, including his first book, Customs Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights; the 15th edition was published in 2020. Thomson Reuters’ Aspatore Books published Tim’s next title in 2015, Potato Chips to Computer Chips: The War on Fake Stuff. In April 2017 he published The Fortunate Son, which recounts the parallel lives of his experience as “an army brat” and a group of Vietnam veterans who intersect decades after the war. Tim says, “If you’ve ever been in the military or part of a military family, you’ll know that we all are bound together. For those who find the military to be foreign and unknown, our story may help you to understand why it binds so many together.”
Fiction was a genre he wanted to try. In 2017, Pendulum Over the Pacific, was released by Joshua Tree Publishing. “This political intrigue story is set in Tokyo and Washington, D.C., and centers on trade tensions between the U.S. and Japan in the late 1980s,” Tim explains. In 2023, his first series hit bookstores: The China Connection, followed in December 2024 with The China Factor.
