Tim Flanagan

During the day, Tim works as a Podiatrist in private practice in Kent, UK. He is the author of two books for Health Professionals, has lectured across England, Scotland and Ireland, and has treated national athletes for Sport England.
 
By night, Tim lurks in his office, writing stories of fantasy and imagination.

The idea for the Moon Stealers came one morning in the bathroom. My son, who enjoys sharing the only peaceful time I get to truly be on my own, randomly asked me to tell him a story. James has a great imagination so I knew that only a wild and exciting story would amuse him (plus there had to be some form of death and destruction in it.) So I randomly said, 'Have you heard the one about the Moon Stealers?' and the seed of imagination started. During our time in the bathroom, we threw loads of ideas at each other and concocted a sort of story for the Moon Stealers. I decided to start writing it down, not really knowing where it was going, but as I started to write I found that the ideas seemed to organically grow by themselves.
