About Tim Werks

I'm Tim. I build houses in Regina, Saskatchewan — which means by February I've earned a warm balcony and a good book. I'm usually up at 5am reading before the coffee's even cooled; my wife Dee — or Diana when I'm in trouble — and our boys Cole and Luke have mostly given up getting my attention once I'm deep in a book. I read thrillers and mysteries mostly, and I'm on a one-man mission to get more people into litRPG. This is where I tell you what's worth packing — and the little bits of gear that make reading by the water better.
