Funny, true, and good company
Tim Gamble writes the kind of true stories you'd hear from an old friend who's lived nine lives — funny, warm, and quietly moving. Two memoirs about an ordinary American life and the grace that carried it. You'll laugh. You'll feel a little less alone. You won't want to put them down.
About the Author
I'm a natural-born storyteller who spent a lifetime telling these tales out loud long before I ever set them down on a page. I came to writing late, and I come at it the way I come at a good conversation — curious, unhurried, and always ready to find the humor in the places where certainty runs thin.
I grew up in the West during a time of big change, getting into the kind of trouble that turns into a good story later. I try to write without judgment and with a little grace for everyone in the telling — including the younger versions of myself who probably deserved less of it.
Mostly I believe that imperfection is universal, that the questions matter more than the answers, and that grace tends to show up in the quietest, most unassuming moments. I live in Colorado with my wife, Sandy — who is, in every way that counts, the reason for all of it.
— Tim

Short, self-contained true tales told like a friend sharing one over a cup of coffee: witty, heartfelt, and full of moments that make you laugh out loud, nod in recognition, and maybe wipe away a quiet tear. Once you've met Tim in Now What, this is where you go to find out how he got that way.

“I thought I might actually have something to say. Turns out, I was right.”— Tim Gamble
