About the author

Thomas Cragg (a.k.a. Vixxy Fox), author of the Cóyotl-award-winning novel, "Reach for the Sky" is devoted to giving readers fast-paced, high-stakes adventures of various genres. His historical novels, such as the "The Adventures of Sir Edwin Dunfrees", represent history that has all but been forgotten, and yet the books are highly accurate for the eras in which they take place. His latest novel, "Mr. Grumble", is a bold attempt to present an entirely different writing style for his readers. It is an action and adventure story based upon the old spy TV shows and movies of the 1960s. A retired aviation expert, he writes from his home in Orlando, Florida, does plenty of yard work, tends to three dogs, adores his wife of 42 years, and takes pleasure in yelling at his grandchildren. He is also devoted to the care and welfare of animals found in the forest of his back yard.
