Tim's Newspaper Column

I never planned to be a newspaper columnist. In fact, back in 2011 when I was approached by then editor Joe Gelardin about writing a weekly column for The Boothbay Register and the Wiscassett Newspaper I turned him down flat! “Not enough money.” I sniffed, “Plus, why would I want a weekly deadline hanging over my head?”

Fortunately Joe wouldn’t take no for an answer. My weekly column “Stories I Never Told You” turned out to be an excellent creative outlet. In 2013 it earned a First Place award from the Maine Press Association and in 2014 a collection of columns entitled “Answers to Questions Nobody was Askin’” was published by Down East Books. An audiobook version is in the works. Stay tuned.
