Elephants, Cows and Tim Woodward

Last night, I met up with Timothy Woodward at the Elephant Bar in the District in Las Vegas, Nevada.  It was a beautiful evening in Sin City, made even more beautiful by the permanent smile on Tim’s face.  He has signed with Deidre Knight of the Knight Agency in Madison, Georgia, and his novel, Purple Cow, will soon be coming to a bookstore near you.  Way. To. Go.



Tim is a graduate of the Southern New Hampshire University MFA program in creative writing and Purple Cow is the project he completed during the program.  It's a LGBT YA novel about coming out and finding first love in rural New Hampshire. The protagonist is a 16 year old boy that discovers support comes from unlikely places when you're gay in a place without a built in support network.  It is being published by Kensington Books, which has a strong Gay/Lesbian Division and is a known commodity in LGBT publishing.



Tim is currently working on a second book, not a sequel, targeted toward the same market.

Congrats, brother. Nothing quite like the first. I look forward to the read. All best to you and yours ... and party, brother, you deserve it.

Congrats, man. I don't recall if we've met, or if I've just seen too many residency photos of you, but it's an exciting brush with greatness nonetheless. And speaking as a teacher who works with a lot of LGBT kids, I say more like this!
