He has operated the electrical distribution system on nuclear submarines, negotiated multi-million dollar contracts with US and foreign firms, and now he sells liquor at a state package store. However, Tom has always been a story-teller at heart and over the past ten years he has developed that knack into a group of books aimed at entertaining the reader.

Tom and his wife of over 45 years currently live in Williamsburg, Virginia, in a small apartment attached to their daughter and son-in-law's home. He works part time and tries to spend at least a few hours each day writing. In addition to his novels, Tom has written and published a special short story for each of his four grandchildren, immortalizing them with a book listed with an ISBN.

The smallest and most inexpensive item is a 50 ml bottle of sickening sweet bourbon that retails for ninety-nine cents. Despite much better choices nearby, it' the item that is stolen most often. There must be a reason for this. Why would someone commit a crime that offers such a small reward for equal risk.

I'm exploring that in a novel I'm now writing. (less)
