The Broken Shield: An Urban Fantasy

Tim Reynolds is a Canadian twistorian, bending and twisting history into fictional shapes for sheer entertainment. His humorous non-fictioncolumn in SEARCH Magazine is just as entertaining, but is based strictly on his bizarre, event-filled life. His debut novel, the urban fantasy, The Broken Shield, was released on July 21, 2014 on Amazon as a digital book and has reached as high as #10 in Contemporary Fantasy on Amazon.ca. His published short stories can be found gathered together in The Death of God and Other Stories and range from lighthearted fantasy to turn-on-the-damned-lights-now horror, and include the story of a bus driver who kills all his passengers, Evil fashion advice, a tale of a dying folk singer’s moments teaching Death a love song, and a dark, depressing view of the near future of reality TV and child-rearing. His latest novel is Waking Anastasia from Tyche Books. It’s a tale of death, laughter, and love...in that order. His 100-word story ＂Temper Temper＂ was a winner of Kobo Writing Life’s Jeffrey Archer Short Story Challenge, and most recently, his short story ＂Tamarack and the Stone＂ was announced as a finalist for the 2016 Baen Fantasy Adventure Award, as well as received an Honourable Mention in L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future Contest. A full-length trilogy is planned based on the short story. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Tim grew up in Toronto, Ontario, and has a couple degrees from the University of Western Ontario in London.
