Breath of the Adamastor
is a genre-bending novel of literary historical fiction about a marine biologist's tour of duty as an Allied spy in 1940s Portugal. Under the cover of turtle research, Ardis Lowney’s mission takes her to Lisbon’s sophisticated salons, rustic villages, and sunny beach towns. Just when her cover no longer holds water, she makes an extraordinary discovery at sea, yet comes face-to-face with her would-be lover, staring down the barrel of his Luger. The narrative soars with sublime moments that clash with the absurd facades of Fatima, war, and romance.

Breath of the Adamastor
is the new title and second edition of
A Life on Water (2023).
A Bill to Pay: a two-act play
is a coming of age comedy about a young man and his grandfather who come to appreciate the price of life’s little decisions. Harking back to 1988-90 when the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement was in the news, A Bill to Pay calls attention to what was lost and the price Canadians continue to pay.

The Tale of Indigo
is a book of poetry that explores
our most-enduring myth—creation—and the great issues of our time—greed, our war with pathogens, and climate change.
(Cavalarico Books, 2022)

My social media
My website has become a repository for a range of articles and background information pertaining to my books and some of the people who have helped me along the way. For example, my website presents the artists who created illustrations for book covers and other marketing and promotions.
Occasionally, readers correspond with me through my blog and social media. And I send out email news to a growing list of readers.
In addition, each of the social media channels I have tried out is only one click away. See the icons at the bottom of this page.
If you want more information, you are welcome to visit my website. --Tim
Bio
After writing three books, a new priority became necessary--setting up my imprint, Cavalarico Books, to publish, distribute, market, and promote my books.
This year, I expanded distribution to include a print-on-demand bookstore (on the books.by platform) and ebook distribution of my three books with aggregator Draft2Digital.
STILL UNDERWAY - I recently set up print and ebook distribution to bookstores and libraries via Ingram Spark. I'm especially interested in seeing the hardcover with a dust jacket.
When the dust settles, you will find me working on more books and looking forward to doing some writing in a far-off exotic location, at least in my mind, haha.
