Tim O'Mara | THE BIG THRILL

Tim O'Mara

Tim O’Mara is best known for his Raymond Donne mysteries about an ex-cop who now teaches in the same Williamsburg, Brooklyn, neighborhood he once policed: Sacrifice Fly (2012), Crooked Numbers (2013), Dead Red (2015), published by Minotaur Books, and Nasty Cutter (2019) and The Hook (2020) both published by Severn House. His novellas Smoked, Jammed, and Beaned appear in the crime trilogies Triple Shot (2016) Three Strikes (2018), and Third Degree (2020), all from Down & Out Books. He also edited the short story anthology, Down to the River, to benefit the non-profit American Rivers. O’Mara taught special education for 30 years in the public middle schools of New York City, where he now teaches adult writers, including incarcerated men for the organization Prison Writes (prisonwrites.org).
