Tim Kehoe

Who is Tim Kehoe?

Tim Kehoe is an author and toy inventor from St. Paul, Minnesota, who, though having invented numerous toys, is perhaps best known for his work to invent colored bubbles that do not stain, known as Zubbles. Zubbles took more than 14 years to develop and incorporated a great deal of research in various fields, including chemistry and the science of dyeing.

Tim is the author of the VINCENT SHADOW series published by Little, Brown and Company. Eleven-year-old Vincent Shadow dreamed of being a toy inventor. He had notebooks full of ideas: bubbles that carried sound, rockets that pop into kites, and a football that would rather bite than be caught. Unfortunately, the secret attic lab where Vincent built his prototypes had seen more disasters than triumphs. But a chance encounter with eccentric toy inventor Howard G. Whiz, and the discovery of long-lost inventions by one of the world s greatest scientists would change Vincent s life forever.

Tim is also the author of the upcoming middle-grade thriller FURIOUS JONES AND THE ASSASSIN'S SECRET. Furious Jones’ dad is a world famous thriller writer, and all around Hemingway-esque tough-guy. His dad is also dead. He was brutally murdered onstage one week before the release of his latest book. And Furious had a front row seat to the killing. Now, with both parents dead, Furious is set to inherit a small fortune and massive trouble. But, after spending time with a secret copy of his dad’s soon-to-be-released book, Furious decides to stop running and start chasing.
