At age 52, Tim Bishop left a successful career as a corporate treasurer, married his dream girl, and embarked with her to parts unknown—on bicycles! Tim and Debbie have since coauthored four books about their midlife bicycling adventures. Wheels of Wisdom won the 2017 National Indie Excellence Award for inspiration and the 2017 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal for Christian - Devotion/Study. Publishers Weekly dubbed it “a roadmap for life.”
The Bishops volunteer on TheHopeLine to coach people who struggle with life issues. They have bicycled thousands of miles throughout America since their wedding. Thanks to these and other life experiences, their books overflow with wisdom, hope, and joy.
Tim is a three-time Maine chess champion, a CPA, and a consultant for small businesses. He has also written a business book, Hedging Commodity Price Risk. He is still out to prove that the writing contest he won as a college freshman was not a fluke.
Debbie Bishop is an overcomer with boundless energy and an adventuresome spirit. Transparent, relatable, and fun best describe her writing. She holds a Masters degree in literacy from Lesley University and has taught for nearly thirty years.
Out of gratitude for what God has done in her life, Debbie studies the Bible enthusiastically. Her recovery from past problems and her relentless pursuit to improve fuel a desire to help others.
Originally from New England, the Bishops live in Middle Tennessee.

Two Are Better: Midlife Newlyweds Bicycle Coast to Coast by Tim and Debbie Bishop is for all those who love adventure and biking. Tim and Debbie’s story is heartwarming and they take readers on a physical, emotional, and spiritual journey where readers are motivated to transform their lives by bringing in hope, optimism, enthusiasm, and confidence. Their perspective from the bicycle teaches readers to get out of their old lives, learn how to build a meaningful existence together, and take a fresh look at what was truly important. The story of the authors will help everyone reevaluate their own life story, and will encourage them to add their own elements of new meaning and purpose.
The journey with the authors is insightful and profound, and it helps one to look at the complexities of life with its challenges, emotions, and details that define everyday life, and how to break free from monotony. The pictures are stimulating and they capture the fun, adventure, love, and beautiful places to make it a memorable read. There is a never a dull moment while reading the book, as it has many layers which make it even more interesting.
The diverse landscapes they travel, their personal and spiritual growth, and the authors' true bonding are uplifting, and there is also this subtle message of the hope of finding that special person to share your life with if you are single. The chapters are organized methodically, making it easy for readers to connect well with each part of the authors' journey; from their relationship to their cycling.
