T.S.Aguilar began writing in earnest in the 1990s. He met his wife, a film maker, at that time when he worked on film scripts and together they produced several documentaries on health issues, and archaeological digs. They ventured into teaching in Mexico, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. When his wife was stricken with cancer, they returned to Canada. His wife encouraged him to to write his novels, which he did and produced the novels "Impetuous - The Odyssey of a Solitary Man" and "Shafted - A Mexican Tale". Both novels are based on personal experience and have received five star reviews from BookViral Reviews (UK) describing them as "a power-packed thriller where the pace rarely wanes" and "a high octane whiz-bang of a read proves to be another powerful release by Aguilar", respectively. Yet, his most important work was still to come. It is the literary non-fiction work "Lifeline - The Case for Effective Cancer Immunotherapy". It was when his wife struggled with cancer, wilted away due to negligent treatment, and finally succumbed to the disease, that Aguilar researched current cancer treatment and searched for a cure for his wife. He collated the information he had gathered and wrote his book that has received yet another five star review from BookViral Reviews concluding that it is "unreservedly recommended for anyone wanting to further their understanding of cancer treatments".
