About the author

Tom Treweek used to be an award-winning journalist, but now he finds more satisfaction telling his own stories. He is a bald, tattooed skeptic who would rather be completely off his rocker than anything resembling normal. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Tom has since lived in New Mexico and Arkansas, although he still considers the places in his imagination as his home. He watches way too many of Gordon Ramsay’s television shows, even though he is dismayed by the lack of profanity. Even though he loves sushi, he has no idea whether or not he should eat the shrimp tails. Dutchman’s Mine is his first, and likely his most family-friendly, novel.
