About the author
Tom Adelstein
4 books2 followersHow did I become an author? First, I starting writing early in life, pursued the craft at school, majored in English literature, worked as a writer-for-hire, obtained expertise in other fields, learned to accept rejection and kept at it. Foremost, I treat writing as a craft, something that has a standard body of knowledge or a cerebral side as well as the dominant creative side.
After college, I knew that 8 cents a word per printed page would not get me through the week financially. I retraced some footsteps and entered the business world. I spent several years as a busy investigative reporter and member of the Computer Press Association, specializing in computer security before it became a fad, so I went into the field very early and found I had a knack for it. I embraced community software development over the Internet. Not long ago, I specialized in government system development and achieved notoriety as a result. Eventually, I joined a consulting and advocacy group and have seen and done things people can't begin to imagine. I went from a part-time to full-time author in 2003.
In 1985, the Longman Pearson Group, Chicago published 'How to Read Analyze and Select Private Real Estate Offerings' which became a breakthrough in my career. I've also published with Macmillan, New York and O'Reilly Media, Cambridge and Sebastopol, CA as you can see in my list of books on the left of this page. I've also penned over 100 articles as an investigative journalist which were published in Forbes, Government Computing, Linux Journal, Investment Advisory Monthly, and O'Reilly Technical Media among others.
I segued back from Non-Fiction to Suspense and brought a lot of experiences to the projects. Many of my books aren't listed on this page either because they're no longer in print or Author Central doesn't compute the ISBN numbers. Contact me through twitter or my blog and I'll complete the list for you. If you live in France, Russia, Turkey, Serbia, Japan or Korea, then I can point out places to find titles.
