Tim has written the foreword for a book entitled "Vodou Shaman" by Ross Heaven which covers the subject of Haitian healing and power methods.  Amazon.co.uk has a January 2004 publication date for the book.  

According to Heaven's website "In his foreword, Tim will concentrate on one of the key themes in The Way of the Houngan: the need for healing and community in the West in order to avert the sort of negativity that leads to breakdown and conflict on a personal and global scale. He will also reveal something of his own spiritual path."

Tim has also contributed to a book called Generations where famous people "reveal the strange and beautiful truth about themselves and their grandparents" to support two charities Railway Children and Age Concern.  Click here to find out more.
