Welcome!

Updated: Aug 4, 2024


I began my literary career by writing stories about people and events in the Shaffer family ancestry. I would find interesting or little-known stories about our family and write about them to preserve the memory and foster interest.


I had chosen to write about my Shaffer grandparents. However, while researching the facts, it became apparent that there was a much larger story to tell centered around my Grandma Shaffer’s mother, Mary Elizabeth Siverling. I felt the events surrounding the Siverling family before and during Mary’s lifetime were worth telling. Hence, two and one-half years and 102,000 words later, I found my name on the cover of a book.


If you are curious about what events I am referring to, you will have to read the book—and I hope you do!


Thanks for reading!

Tim
