Tim McKay is an author, editor, and part-time writing professor from Ottawa, Canada. A lifelong pursuer of meaning and joy through the written word — with a small helping of thrills and adventure on the side.

He has degrees in history and public policy, along with a diploma in professional writing, but likes nothing more than hiking in the woods, running along the Rideau Canal, and connecting with the people he loves.

Oh, and reading a good book.

This was a fun little horror novella. Strong character development and great build-up to the really gross, gut-punching nastiness to come. My only complaints were some awkward phrasing here and there and a lot less spider action than expected (but wh ...more

Really tough call. This book shows all the building blocks of a story that would normally be right up my alley but without quite getting there.

Some really solid writing sprinkled in, but lots of editing, logic/coherence, and to an extent POV slips th

I had the pleasure of reading this book in an earlier beta version, then again in its final form.

One measure of an author's skill is their ability to take an early, rougher draft and transform it into a quality piece while holding to the original sub

The Bureaucrat's Guide to Heroism by S. I. Davies

This was such a fun read. Absolute banger, with great humor and a Progression/LitRPG style that makes me understand why the genre is so popular now. Hooked all the way through, which is saying something for an ex-bureaucrat considering the themes!
