Tim Kehoe is an author and toy inventor from St. Paul, Minnesota, who, though having invented numerous toys, is perhaps best known for his work to invent colored bubbles that do not stain, known as Zubbles. Zubbles took more than 14 years to develop[1] and incorporated a great deal of research in various fields, including chemistry and the science of dyeing.
Tim is also the author of the VINCENT SHADOW published by Little, Brown and Company. Eleven-year-old Vincent Shadow dreamed of being a toy inventor. He had notebooks full of ideas bubbles that carried sound, rockets that pop into kites, and a football that would rather bite than be caught. Unfortunately, the secret attic lab where Vincent built his prototypes had seen more disasters than triumphs. But a chance encounter with eccentric toy inventor Howard G. Whiz, and the discovery of long-lost inventions by one of the world s greatest scientists would change Vincent s life forever.
