Last Tango in Timbuktu has been named a finalist for 2016 Book Of The Year in the Arizona Authors' Association International Literary Competition.
In Last Tango In Timbuktu, Tim Schaefer has assembled a collection of short fiction and poems inhabited by people living on the edge.
A college student, entranced by a mysterious woman, must decide whether to leave the outcome of their chance encounter to fate, or trust his own instincts and pursue her.
A young drifter brings darkened memories to the fore for a jaded writer en route to the bright lights of Las Vegas.
Two small-time hoods on the run have a briefcase full of stolen loot, and an angry drug lord's henchmen in pursuit. But nothing is ever quite the way it seems on the surface, and sometimes we meet our undoing by climbing right into bed with it.
In Tim Schaefer's world, something always hangs in the balance, with the scales right on the verge of tipping. And that's a good spot to climb aboard and hang on for the ride.

One of the first feelings I got when reading Schaefer’s latest book (I read his previous book, Darwin’s Moon, as well) is the thin line between his stories and his poems. Often it was difficult to tell which I was reading, except for the formatting on the page. The poems are so well crafted and poignant, they read like super-short stories that nearly always startle you with their directness and slap-in-the-head moments. I laughed hysterically at “De First Ting You Must Learn,” was sobered by “Reincarnation,” and deeply touched by “Trust.” This is definitely a book you’ll want to keep around and pick up when you need a jolt of reality that lies beneath the cloak of unconsciousness that surrounds us. Fortunately, the book offers nearly 50 such delightful morsels.Product details

Congrats on Ur new book, Tim
Hope it makes U a buck or 2
Cuz it is a really good read
^.^
I'm barely halfway through "Last Tango in Timbuktu" and already regretting that this incredibly readable collection of poems and short stories will soon end. I try to pace myself by only reading five pages per day. It's impossible. Like taking one bite of a scrumptious dessert. What I notice most is the after-taste each piece of writing leaves. Whatever the subject—a free-spirited hitchhiker on her way to Vegas, a Jamaican cat owner mis-placing blame, the unfair passage of Time—Tim Schaefer's words stick in your craw, forcing you to think about things you've never thought about before. It's a brilliant book. And like I said, I will absolutely HATE finishing it.

I just read Tim Schaefer's new book, Last Tango in Timbuktu, and I am totally enamored by the book! The first time I read it, I was struck by the imagery, he is truly gifted in that area. I was "in" the poems, I was "in" the stories. Not only as a reader, but as a bystander watching the action take place. A silent eves dropper. The second time I read the book, I discovered the small innuendos that I had missed the first time, his playful play on words (I must carrion) and how skillfully he used words Sometimes his words would play with each other, teasing and taunting the reader. Other times they would be glaring at each other, ready for a fight. Yes, I read it one more time (and probably there will be more times) to fully "see" and "hear" what he was telling me, and I felt it was just for me. I loved this volume, I think it would be wonderful for book studies and book clubs.
