Bookworms

Hi. My name's Tim Vicary and this website is about some of the books I've written.

There are several different sorts of books. The ones under Thrillers and True Stories are part of the Oxford Bookworms Library. These are short books specially written for foreign students of English. The language in the books is carefully graded in 7 levels, from Starter to Stage 6, and they come with a full support package from Oxford University Press. 

Most of my books in the Bookworms Library are in levels 1-3. These are the easiest to read, but the hardest to write, because what I am trying to do is write a really good, interesting story in very simple, clear English. I think it works, because many thousands of these books have been sold all over the world; and schools in England buy them as well. This year OUP are bringing them all out in new updated editions.

I also write full-length historical and crime novels. These books are out of print at the moment, but I hope to republish them fairly soon. When I do, you'll be able to buy them from this website. In the meantime, you can probably find a copy in your local library or on the internet.
