Tim is a novelist and multidisciplinary artist whose work spans film, photography, and digital art. Through his collaboration with Y Cerrig, he advocates for wider access to creative industries—developing programmes that open doors to publishing, filmmaking, and digital art through affordable or free training opportunities.
Born in Zimbabwe and raised between Hong Kong and the UK, Tim’s early experiences shaped a deep interest in history and storytelling. He later spent time in West Germany, where his fascination with the country’s turbulent past began. After a career in IT, he transitioned into adult education, eventually moving to Southwest Wales in 2005 to focus on creative writing and film.
Tim published his debut historical novel in 2019 and followed it with two more titles—Take Back and That Girl in The Boxcar (2024). His work reflects a passion for history, resilience, and the transformative power of storytelling.
As a dyslexic writer, Tim is a firm believer that neurodiversity should never be a barrier to creativity. His journey demonstrates that with persistence and vision, obstacles can be turned into strengths.
