Timothy Watts is an American writer who authored five crime-fiction books, of which I've read four (Feeling Minnesota, Cons, Grand Theft, and Steal Away) and I'm about to read the fifth (The Money Lovers).
The scant reviews I can find of his works compare him to Elmore Leonard, which is accurate. Go-nowhere guys getting in over their head, that sort of thing.
I really, really like this guy's work, but he hasn't written anything since 2003, and I can't find any information about him on the internet (except for one old interview).
A couple of websites list a book by him called 'The Innocent' and indicate it was released, but I can't find any evidence of such a book ever actually being printed.
He seems to have jumped publishers a few times and even the publishers are hard to pin down.
I realize this is an extremely long shot, but does anybody out there know what happened to Timothy Watts or why he hasn't written anything in 12 years?
