Armed with a newly-minted master’s degree in creative writing, former journalist Tim W. Jackson knew he was qualified to be a bartender, a waiter, or to apply to a PhD program. Instead he chose Secret Option D: run off to the Cayman Islands to work as a scuba instructor and boat captain by day and write fiction at night. Two decades later, he still wishes that was half as interesting as it sounds. Or even a quarter . . .

Jackson is the award-winning author of the humorous Caribbean adventure novels 'Blacktip Island' and 'The Secret of Rosalita Flats," as well as The Blacktip Times humor blog.

His “Tales From Blacktip Island” short stories have been published in the High Plains Literary Review, Confrontation, the Palo Alto Review, Oracle Story and Letters, Conceit, The MacGuffin and Albedo One.

Jackson is currently concocting his third Blacktip Island novel.
