Tim Johnson

Were you to label me an anthropologist, social historian, folklorist or creative non-fiction writer, I would not object.

The world fascinates me to the point of insomnia. I seek out the least trodden paths and the things that nobody else notices. I’m a connection maker, a pattern detector and a story collector. If you want to know about herblore, ghost villages, buttons, snakes, linguistic geology, churchyards, apotropaia, birdsong, weather wizards, and the doormat thief under the hospital helipad, I’d be only too happy to fill you in.

I always assumed nobody was interested, but it’s finally time to test this hypothesis.
