Tim Albert

Tim Albert was accused of being a ‘bit of a time capsule’ as, aged 72, he toured America revisiting the Greyhound Bus Tour he had taken 50 years earlier. He took with him a notebook and pen, a blow-up cushion and his 30,000 word diary from the original trip. His exploits are recounted in his latest book: Two Summers: Nixon and Trump by Greyhound Bus.

His previous books have included a memoir Mostly We Had It Good and four books of medical writing. One of them, Winning the Publications Game, is now in its fourth edition. He was born in London and was a journalist and later a trainer. When not involved in madcap adventures he lives in Surrey, England with a selfless wife and a needy garden
