T.S. Aguilar started writing professionally after working many years in engineering and computer science. First he wrote articles on eco-tourism and the environment for papers in Europe and Latin America before he got down to writing novels that were published in Europe. Side-tracked by script writing and producing documentary videos together with his wife, he continued his extensive travel in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, where he made a living as a teacher. After his wife was diagnosed with and succumbed to cancer, he returned to writing and produced his account of bungled and neglectful cancer treatment as documented in his literary non-fiction book 'Lifeline - The Case for Effective Cancer Immunotherapy'. He has now completed his Latin American trilogy. 'Shafted - A Mexican Tale', 'Paradise in Limbo', and 'Impetuous - The Odyssey of a Solitary Man' are novels that are largely based on contacts with the protagonists as well as personal experience. The critical topics addressed in his writing so far - the exploitation of labour, the destruction of the environment and biodiversity, and the rise and expansion of the illicit drug trade - are presented as intriguing and entertaining novels.
