I am a writer - I write about a variety of topics in a variety of styles. While I have been trained as a technical, scientific writer, I've recently begun to branch out and try my hand at non-fiction and fiction (even though I will take free-lance technical writing gigs!). My goal is to eventually make my full-time living in fiction writing, but in the meantime, while I slog away during the day doing and writing science, at night I'm building my free-lance portfolio.

Listed below are a few samples of my short-story work and references for the pieces I've sold thus far....

Feel free to browse and read. Feedback on any pieces you read is more than welcome - just email me at tim@timlightfoot.com!
