Profile
Tim Maughan is a lazy, day dreaming lay about who has decided that becoming a best selling novelist is his last chance at making something of himself. His previous occupations have included academic researcher, civil servant, IT professional and drug dealer. He has previously written for magazines, websites and dialogue for video games, and Half Moon Beach is his debut novel.
Part comedy and a large part autobiography, Half Moon Beach is the voice of an ageing Generation X that has suddenly found something to say. Set against the backgrounds of Jamaica, the never before seen seedy underbelly of seemingly idyllic Oxford, and the sensory overload of the non-stop media coverage of the Iraqi War, it is a unique urban fairy tale from an exciting new talent.
