About the author

Thomas Burns has spent over three decades practicing and teaching in the field of structural engineering. Fascinated with technological advancements, he is particularly interested in lessons we can learn from both catastrophic failures as well as engineering triumphs. When looking at buildings and bridges, he finds great inspiration knowing that there are untold stories embedded in the vast amount of effort spent by a multitude of individuals in order to make those structures “work.”
A licensed engineer, he has undergraduate and graduate degrees in civil engineering from the University of Cincinnati, and a doctorate in construction management from Indiana State University. Though new to the world of fiction, he is not new to the world of writing, having written multiple books and articles in his field over the last thirty years.
