Welcome to my weird and wonderful world! I am Timothy Carter, writer of Young Adult Fantasy. You could call them tall tales, or even speculative fiction, if that’s the term you prefer. My favourite term for what I write is Far Fetched Fiction, coined by fellow author Robert Rankin to describe his own work. My stories are far-fetched, often humorous, and have a fantastical element to them (like aliens, monsters, demons or angels). I like to poke fun at things. Occasionally I try to SAY SOMETHING. Basically, though, I just like to have fun. That, to me, is what storytelling is all about. Below, you’ll find information on my books and links to other fun Tim stuff. Have fun, and happy reading.
BIOGRAPHY
Timothy Carter was born in England. He is not a spy for her Majesty’s government, he’s never attended any schools for witchcraft and wizardry, and he doesn’t travel through time and space in a blue box. However, he’d like to do all of the above at the first available opportunity. He did turn 13 on Friday the 13th, and that makes him kind of cool, right? Timothy Carter lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife and cat.

Or is something supernatural going on...?
