edit data

Tim McKay is an author, editor, and part-time writing professor from Ottawa, Canada. A lifelong pursuer of meaning and joy through the written word — with a small helping of thrills and adventure on the side.

He has degrees in history and public policy, along with a diploma in professional writing, but likes nothing more than hiking in the woods, running along the Rideau Canal, and connecting with the people he loves.

Oh, and reading a good book.

This one's an absolute banger, and I'm only slightly biased. Expertly handles aging and some really heavy themes with care and style. Great magic, terrifying monsters, and some very satisfying twists. Highly recommend. ...more
