Although he is now living in Washington State, he has dual British and American citizenship and welcomes the benefits of both when traveling!
In late 1997, Tim moved to Los Angeles to be with his future American and Jewish wife, Amy. They quickly moved to the beautiful Seattle area.
Tim now enjoys attending Seattle Sounders FC soccer games but retains his British pride by continuing to be a proud supporter of Arsenal FC in the English Premier League and by doing his unashamed best to honor the memory of Her Late Majesty the Queen by supporting the work and duties of other senior working members of the British Royal Family. Tim watched the joint coronation ceremony of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla in May 2023 at 3.00 a.m. and envied those on the Mall in London.
Tim first “walked” with Anne Brontë when he was in his late twenties; and he has been inspired by her ever since. To borrow a phrase attributed to Anne, but which he and Brenda Whipps sadly cannot find the source of despite exhaustive search, Tim largely lives for the fact that “there are great books in this world and great worlds in books.” He finds every character imaginable in adult, teen, and children’s classical literature to be worthy of some form of love, emulation, humor, regret, loathing, or parenting—especially those works that have neurodivergent characters! He has read all of Shakespeare’s plays at least three times and loves the underappreciated and little-known Timon of Athens. He disagrees with Charlotte Brontë’s assessment of Jane Austen!
Tim is devoted to honoring the memory of not just Anne Brontë, but also those of Anne and Margot Frank. In 2021, Tim edited and published “Meeting” Anne Frank, which he has donated many copies of to those who knew Anne and Margot, to members of the British and Dutch royal families, to various luminaries in the Anne Frank world, to school and public libraries, and even to his local cheesemonger, who was touched by studying the lives of Anne and Margot at her school.
Tim has an adopted daughter whom he wrote about under the pen name of Simon Cambridge in his “Denied! Failing Cordelia” series of books. The writing part of this trilogy was inspired by adhering to Anne Brontë’s devotion to the truth, for “truth always conveys its own moral to those who are able to receive it.”vizualizați mai puține
