Amazon “Best Selling” Author
Tim Young
Impressed by that “Best Selling Author” label? Don’t be. Anytime you see that it means an author’s book ranked #1 in a specific Amazon category. It’s no big deal. And it’s not like I’ve written any New York Times Best Sellers.
Still, I have written several books. And they’ve helped or inspired about 80,000 readers as I write this. So I know someone other than mom has bought one.
I have two passions that I write about.
- The “business” of family farming.
- Self-reliant preparedness.
And I don’t just write about farming, prepping, and homesteading—that’s the life I live.
