Tim Martin lives in the Monarch Mountains outside Sandpoint, Idaho —about an hour’s drive from Washington, or Montana, or Canada, and a long way from the Iowa farm where he grew up.

Tim relates well to dogs and cats, fly-fishermen, cold beer, hot coffee, dead spots in cell coverage, and people who care enough to listen after they ask a question.

His first novel, On Death and Flying, was inspired by real-life friends, who adopted two abused children. Tim continues to have a deep-seated belief that life is unexplainable magic and everything works pretty well when you don’t try too hard. He is at work on his next novel.

Tim Martin When you read Ivan Doig's work you get the feeling he never grew old. Wouldn't it be great if everybody lived that way?
