About the author
Thomas Trimble
52 books2 followersMy name is Thomas Trimble, call me Tom. I am a new independent author. I want to tell you about my writing. As an introduction I need to tell you a bit about myself so you can understand the motivation for my books.
First, for my entire career I was an engineer involved in building and programming computers, since back when the idea for them basically first emerged. I worked for what was the Bell System and ended up retiring as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Labs. That interest and kind of a distrust for computers is the key motivation for some of my books.
They are:
SIMAT
Total Access
Cyber Watchdog
and
Terror by Machine
My first attempt at Alternate History and Time Travel was recently released it is called: Surprise Battle: A Different Outcome. A modern warship is transported to the middle of the Battle at Guadalcanal in 1942.
I wrote an interesting murder mystery type book about a modern killer for hire business. It follows the story sharing a bit of both perspectives between the police and the suppliers (killers). It is called Death Mail; An Order of Murder.
For the fans of ghost stories, I wrote Mystery in the Mine and O'Toole's Treasure a continuing story about two reopened Gold Rush mines with some mysterious help.
The other main influence on my writing is a health issue. I have an illness called Congestive Heart Failure or CHF cause by a heart attack 32 years ago. I have gotten to know a lot of people with this condition and there are more joining that world every day. To try to share the knowledge I have gained from my own experience and talking to others, I wrote four books intended to help those patients who have CHF.
Those books are:
Heart Failure: My Life Journey
Heart Failure: Our Life Journey
Heart Failure: One Day at a Time
Caring Hearts: A Caregiver’s World
I also wrote one book the falls between the engineer and the heart patient in me
It is a sci-fi called From Inside Heart Failure: The Future of a Cure
Maybe you can guess the theme to that one if you like old sci-fi.
I am always trying to improve my writing and I appreciate reviews and feedback as long as they are honest.
Keep reading.
My Thanks Tom

This is normally not the kind of book that I read. At first, I was overwhelmed by all the technical jargon, but the more I read, I realized that I didn't have to be a computer specialist to read this book. Anyways, it's about a computer with multiple personalities wreaking havoc. It made me think about computers in real life. And then what happens when computers get smarter than people?
