WORKS IN PROGRESS

Sarah and Orville (working title) –

After the release of the award-winning Sarah Burning, readers made it known that they wanted more. This new book, written in more of a narrative style, examines the life and stories of Sarah’s husband Orville Ritter, whose early demise within Sarah Burning denied readers of the chance to get to know him. Additionally, a total of six letters which Sarah wrote in the months before the fire have been discovered, and their contents offer a further glimpse into events occurring within the family in 1959. Lastly, evidence around a new mystery will be examined.
 
Tentative release date: Spring 2024
 

Chasing the Chadwick Line – as a companion to Tim’s popular presentation on the old Chadwick Railroad, this book will offer a brief history of the railroad and give people an opportunity to retrace the route of the railroad and discover the remains which are visible from the road.

Tentative release date: Early 2024

The Screamer Down the Hall and Other Tales: A Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe – This will be a collection of short stories and a couple of poems created under the inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe’s genius for storytelling. No, it won’t all be scary, macabre stuff, just as Poe’s works were not only the macabre for which he is so famous. There’s adventure, humor and fantasy, along with some spooky tales.

Tentative release date: Summer 2025

Ambush on Prairie Creek (temporary title) – Based on actual events, the story of a little-known ambush which took place during the closing days of the Civil War, as told by one of the survivors.

Untitled (as of yet) – There’s a crossroads in Belgium where several American soldiers slowed down the German advance that delayed the action that we now know as the Battle of the Bulge. At least five of these men earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for their actions. Tim thinks their story needs to be told.

Untitled (as of yet) love story – a few years ago Tim wrote a love story, which received good reviews from test readers. However over the last couple of years, after giving it some thought, Tim wants to make it better. He says it’s hanging out there, ready for some attention.

Stay tuned for more!
