HI there! my name is Patrick Timm but my friends call me Pat. I am a freelance writer, author and columnist. I have written a weather column for The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver, Washington since December 1990. I have also written articles for Sunset, Oregon Coast and Weatherwise magazines and was a columnist for two years at the South Whidbey Record newspaper on Whidbey Island, Washington
An editor and feature editor on my high school newspaper for three years at Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland, Oregon where I majored in Graphic Arts and Journalism. I studied journalism at Portland State University and received the Eric W. Allen award for journalism from the University of Oregon. Memberships include the Willamette Writers Association, Oregon Chapter of the American Meteorology Society and Northwest Independent Writers Association.
My latest endeavor is writing a new ‘Whispers in the Wind– A Journey Through Time and Destiny. I also have just published Tide Stalker–The Sea Remembers, a mystery/thriller set on the Oregon coast. Quite intriguing. I will also share some of my short musings which are a short gathering of words from my imagination for you to ponder. A spattering of this and that, pomp and prose and almost anything else to wonder.
While not writing I enjoy walking and meditating on the beach, hiking, playing with my little Yorkie, daydreaming and of course weather.
