TIMOTHY JAY SMITH – Author of “FIRE ON THE ISLAND”

“In only a few words, your review captured the essence of Fire on the Island: a wild adventure of a read with many unexpected twists and mysteries that come together to tell a satisfying story. The novel’s steady pace is influenced by my training as a screenwriter which also explains why I rely on bright, sharp dialogue. You mentioned my LGBTQ characters, which all of my novels have, but in non-stereotypical roles (and never approaching erotica). I strive to write entertaining stories that are also meaningful in some way. In this instance, Fire on the Island paints a portrait of a contemporary Greek village reeling from dual economic and refugee crises when an arsonist suddenly drops into its midst.”
