Tim Joseph is a published novelist and poet. His 2000 novel, Four-Fifths is a deep emotional literary work. A man journeys deep into the innermost workings of his mind as four-fifths of his soul is ripped away through loss of love; a little girl helps him recover. He discovers the naked truth about intense love, painful loss, fierceness of evil, justified murder, the treasure in a child's kiss, and the very purpose of life. Four-Fifths won the 2002 Word-Weaver Award of Excellence.

His new book (2002), Reflections On Love, is a collection of short verse poems, thoughts, and narrative on love and life he wrote to his wife and soul-mate as he pondered his love for her, the nature of mankind, and the purpose of humanity. It's a serious, humorous, and loving journey inside the very nature of love and life.
His second novel, Four-Fifths Endowed, is complete; four children's books of a series are finished; a poetry book is in editing; a third novel is nearing completion; and two other novels are in the making.

Timothy is a scientist and teacher by training holding a BS., BS.Ed., MA., and PhD., and he's in the 2002 Who's Who in America. Tim has numerous technical journal publications, and received a 1999 Technical Communication Award of Excellence by the Society for Technical Communication. Yet he will tell you that above all else, nothing ranks as important to him as being a writer. He has been a high school teacher and science department head, university and college professor, corporate division director, and senior scientist (presently). Of those he says the most rewarding and valuable was the challenge of high school teaching. Toward that end, Dr. Joseph continues to volunteer his time by giving Creative Writing talks at local high schools, and organizations. As well, each year he teams with a local high school in publishing a major federal document with students from a creative writing or communications class. Asked by a High School student what his goal as a writer was, Tim answered, "To leave behind every fiber, every word, and every feeling of love I can, in action, and on the written page." Tim does that in his novels, poetry, children's books, essays, and letters to his family.

Tim and his wife Marsha enjoy long weekends on the water anchored in some quiet cove on their houseboat. Nourished by the serenity and beauty of the lake and sky, Tim writes, while Marsha reads and works on needlepoint. Tim has a son and daughter; both his soul-mates. On life, he says, "There are just not enough ways to tell my wondrous wife, my beautiful children, family, and my special friends, how much I love them, and how they truly are my life."
