He revelled in composing advertising phrases and slogans designed to attract attention and engender thought-provocation. He was quite successful at this and eventually shared third partnership in an advertising agency in Sydney.Berman's spare moments were shared between flying, shooting, underwater exploration and writing. Then he got married.This, however, did not diminish his curiosity and creativity. When the opportunity arose to explore the prospect of the truth about some fake coinage found aboard an old Dutch shipwreck in Australian waters, he went into research mode and discovered a factor in the story never before told. The result was Batavia: The Counterfeit Coin Conspiracy, which depends somewhat on some speculative writing bringing together all the elements of truth behind a tale often told.Although having passed away in early 2023, Berman was still busy finishing other stories at his home on the NSW South Coast which he shared with his lovely wife and charming dogs. Tim Berman is the author's 'nom-de-plume'.ver menos
