AUTHOR PROFILE
Tim Bowler


Tim Bowler was born and brought up in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, the setting of his first novel, Midget. On leaving school he studied Swedish and Scandinavian Studies at East Anglia University, and lived for a while in Sweden. He then worked in a number of fields, including forestry and the timber trade, and spent seven years as a teacher. By the time he left teaching, Tim had become Head of Modern Languages at a school in Newton Abbot, Devon. He is now a full-time freelance writer and translator, and lives in Devon.

Tim has won numerous awards for his novels: the prestigious Carnegie Medal for his third book, River Boy, and both the Angus Book Award and the Lancashire Libraries Children’s Book Award for his fourth novel, Shadows. His fifth novel, Storm Catchers, won this year’s South Lanarkshire Book Award, and was reissued in July 2002, along with Midget and Dragon’s Rock.

Tim's latest novel, Starseeker, is out now in hardback.
