Tim has for the first time collected a variety of his newspaper and magazine articles from over the last 30 years. These 25 pieces represent numerous periods of his writing career, starting with early humor columns for his college paper, through freelance pieces during the '80s that showed early sparks of "Serge," including covering a Michael Jackson concert and the New Orleans World's Fair. Then into '90s (with reports on roller hockey and obscenity laws), and finally the post-"Florida Roadkill" years, which prompted publications to request first-person accounts of his book tours, research travels and anything else that followed Storms' swath of destruction.
