DR. TIMOTHY B. DOSEMAGEN Born and reared in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Dr. Tim Dosemagen resides in southern California with his wife Cheryl, and children Jeremy and Mellissa. Dr. Dosemagen served in the United States Air Force for 7 years during the Carter and Reagan Administrations as a Cryptologic Analyst, studying various military and in- dustrial entities of the Peoples Republic of China while reporting to the National Security Agency. During his 3 years of gathering intelligence in the Republic of Korea, China launched its first submarine launched ballistic missile, while suffering several significant pilot and aircraft defections. An East Asian language and culture undergraduate degree accompanied significant travel to Japan, the Republic of China, Hong Kong, Okinawa, Hawaii and Alaska. Dosemagen was decorated with the Air Force Achievement Medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, and the Air Force Commendation Medal. After completing full-time government service in 1987, Dosemagen briefly instructed Chinese Mandarin in the Kenosha Unified School District, before joining the professional service of the Boy Scouts of America where he worked for 11 years, finishing as Director of Field Service with the Northeast Illinois Council, based in Highland Park.

Présentation de l'éditeur

After completing his first novel, Prodigies - A Warring Species and the Human Heart, Dr. Tim Dosemagen decided to move toward the personal, producing in The Impossible a very eclectic and most unusual collection of delightful short stories and essays. The Impossible combines humor with irony, weaving a lifetime of observations into an easy to read digest of very intimate observations, written in Dosemagen's uniquely direct style, with a simplicity of description, an honesty of depiction, and a mastery of capturing the inequalities of life and unexplainable unfolding of the world's events. In reading these stories and essays, the reader will be alternately surprised, uplifted, shocked, chagrined, amused, and educated. One is left with a lingering appreciation at these brief portraits into so many hidden aspects of our a life, and the desire to re-read these stories and essays is happily quenched. In The Impossible, Dosemagen casts a warm spotlight on the unlikeliest events of our lives, the roles each of us play in creating our futures, and the wonderful transformations yielded by the passage of time. Ride the waves, enjoy the good yarns, take pleasure in the sarcasm of the screeds, the wisdom of the observations, and celebrate Dosemagen's continuation of Mark Twain's 'A Pen Warmed Up In Hell' tradition.
