The award-winning The Winter Sisters (QW Publishers, August 2019) is Tim Westover’s second unusual Southern novel. Auraria (2012), his first, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. The Old Weird South (2012) is a collection of 24 stories exploring the supernatural side of the American South. Westover is also the author of Marvirinstrato (Mermaid Street) (2009), a collection of short stories in Esperanto, an international language created in 1887 to bridge the gap between speakers of different languages. Westover is a recognized expert in Esperanto and also speaks Russian, German, and reads ancient Greek.
Westover is a transplanted Yankee who has put down roots in Lawrenceville, Ga. where he and his young daughter have embraced the culture. He perfected a family recipe for biscuits after dozens of failed attempts, learned to play the claw hammer banjo, and travels the South looking for unique stories, folklore, and history that he enjoys mixing with larger philosophical themes in his books. 
Dedicated to supporting his community, Westover has donated $50,000 of the proceeds from The Winters Sisters to the Child Life Department of Children’s Hospital of Atlanta. He is also the COO and web application designer for MediaLab, Inc., an international company based in Lawrenceville.
Westover has a bachelor’s in English from Davidson College where he was Phi Beta Kappa and a master’s in business technology from the University of Georgia. He and his daughter live in Grayson.
