About the Author
Tim Bragg (TP Bragg) writes fast paced literary fiction. His latest novel Biting Tongues tells the story of a man who has been imprisoned in an old air-raid shelter for seven years and seven months. Why was he imprisoned? Who did it? How did he keep sane? What happens to him?
Tim lives in the south-west of England and is married to a French woman – they have a young son. In 2001 his novel The English Dragon was published and he has had many short-stories published too including some literary prize winners.In late November he will also have his first science-fiction novel published; The White Rooms (which will be available through Amazon).
Tim also plays drums and flute in a Devon-based jazz band (thestevetuckerallstarjazzband.com) and sings, plays guitar and writes his own songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Towards the light, 1 May 2007
By A. Silk "velveteen rose" (Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's some time since I read this compelling book (my first review disappeared into the ether!) and it remains in my memory as vivid and haunting. The story is outlined already, so I'm concentrating on the skill used by Tim Bragg to tell a moving story of Jackie's healing after his imprisonment. His recovery from near insanity is carefully and subtly drawn. The Jackie we meet at the start, bitter, angry and raw, is transformed before our eyes, without sentiment. Tim Bragg also triumphs in his account of the mundanity of evil; his captors go step by step from the almost-understandable (separating their beloved daughter from an unsuitable suitor) to the almost-incredible (keeping him prisoner for years.)

The narrative carried me along, willingly suspending my disbelief. I half-expected, after all this time, that I would remember the story with a degree of scepticism, removed from the compelling magic of the writing. That is not the case, however. The story remains convincing. Tim Bragg's characters are finely drawn.

I recommend this book whole heartedly.
