Biography

Timothy Bickerton has written two novels featuring gay ex-spy Ronald Sigmundsson—Budapest Express and Back To Beirut. He is currently engaged in the search for the right literary agent to help him bring those characters to life and see those books published. 

For more than a decade, Bickerton was a Vice President of Columbia Artists Management Inc. in New York City, producing international concert tours on three continents for Grammy Award-winning artists, and special events for celebrities like Tim Robbins, Alec Baldwin, and Ricky Martin.

During that time he traveled extensively behind the iron curtain as it was beginning to crumble, and into China just as it was reopening to the West. He has sparred with Channing Tatum, discussed music with Paul McCarthy, and enjoyed tea with Moby.

Bickerton has written The Art of Touring, available through Capilano University bookstore, a weekly column about classical music called Classical Gas for the Surrey Leader newspaper, articles about beauty for XY Magazine, dozens of articles about music for the Canadian Music Centre, and liner notes for mysteries published by St. Martin’s Press.

His interest in espionage was awakened on reading the very first James Bond novel and everyone since, and has only grown as he devoured everything written by John Le Carré, Len Deighton, Alan Furst, Philip Kerr, Volker Kutscher, Olen Steinhauer, Mick Herron, and many, many others.

Bickerton is a member of the Federation of BC Writers and is currently writing the next novel in the Ronald Sigmundsson series (Terror in Terminal City) on the shores of the Coast Salish Sea in Vancouver, BC, where he lives with his husband, Tom.
