About Me

Hello

I am an author of humour books called Tim Collins. I have written the following books:

Are you a Geek?

The Ginger Survival Guide

Mingin' or Blingin'

School Rules

The Little Book of Internet Dating

However, I did not write the following book:

Rules of Engagement: A Life in Conflict.

I did not serve in Iraq, I have never delivered an inspirational speech to the allied troops, and you probably won't get a compelling insight into the realities of modern warfare from reading any of my books. Unless you're the kind of person who gets insights into modern warfare from reading gags about nerds, chavs and ginners.

My book 'Are You a Geek?' has just been released in the US and can be found here. You can take an online version of my geek test here.
