Tim Vicary

Tim Vicary is a university teacher at the Norwegian Study Centre at the university of York, England. In addition to the three crime and legal thrillers in 'The Trials of Sarah Newby' series, he has written historical novels, children's books, and about twenty graded readers for foreign learners of English in the Oxford Bookworms series, published by Oxford University Press. In 2010 one of these, Titanic, was the winner in its category for the Language Learner Literature Award for the Extensive Reading Foundation, and another one, The Everest Story, is a finalist this year.

Tim lives in the English countryside, near York. When he's not writing he likes horse-riding, cycling, and swimming. Over the past year, perhaps because he's become a grandfather, he has become fascinated by, amongst other things, dinosaurs, and an OUP book about Dinosaurs will come out later this year.
