Veteran nurse Timothy Sheard is a writer, publisher, mentor to writers and union organizer. After writing 9 mystery novels featuring hospital custodian-shop steward Lenny Moss, he launched Hard Ball Press to help working class people write and publish their own stories. Timothy believes that when workers write and tell their stories, they build rank and file solidarity and union power, and they strengthen the fight for social justice.
