In 1999 he wrote the poem, The True Night Before Christmas and dedicated it to his first granddaughter, who was about to celebrate her very first Christmas. Several years later the decision was made to publish the poem as a children’s picture book. Savannah (the very same granddaughter for whom the poem was written) became the illustrator – as a nine year old. This book has become a best seller, and is cherished as a Christmas treasure in thousands of homes across the nation. Timothy’s book entitled, The True Night Before Easter debuted in 2010, attracting a national audience.
