edit data

Tom Harvey is a product of the Eighties, having spent his "growing up" years within the decade. He lives with his wife, Susan, and their Shiba Inu in Bellevue, Washington. "The Eighties: A Bitchen Time To Be a Teenager!" is his first published work. (And, yeah, he knows that bitchen/bitchin' can be spelled two different ways...)

His second offering, "Don't Fight With the Garden Hose & Other Lessons I've Learned Along the Way" is now available at Amazon.com

[Please note, there are other books written by Tom/Thomas Harvey...who would've known there would be more than one author with the same name?!]
