Tom is an author, programmer, and speaker. His love is researching an historical topic and then writing about it. Stories based on real, common historical people and their problems are the most intriguing. While the world changes over time, our emotions remain the same-fear is fear; bitterness is bitterness; love is love. Events are the catalysts that prompt the feelings that often determine who we are, who we become. First Fury, based on a true story, delves into the depths of bitterness. Ruined, the second book in the Fury series takes the reader into the ravages of child sexual victimization. The Courage of Your Faith is a series of 12 short stories with Bible studies base on the influence of Baptists on the history of the United States. Story Planner Tools was developed to help authors and is based on input from reference materials and conferences. In addition to writing, Tom enjoys his grandchildren, church life, fishing, skiing, hiking and snowshoeing with his wife Sandy. They love their home in Windsor, Colorado. People have said Sandy has a flower fetish. Because of the beauty she creates, Tom feeds that fetish!
