| Introduction | Tom lives in Chester with his four year old son who thinks he’s a T-Rex, a one year old bundle of mischief and his lovely Irish wife Sarah (she paid me to say that). He works as a SAP Guru for a big oil company and every now and again when he’s stuck on a rig or an oil tanker in a force nine gale – he wonders if he might just prefer to be at home writing instead. He mainly visits the zoo in his spare time and changes nappies. In the remaining 3 seconds left after the boys go to bed - he writes and recently completed his fourth novel (a cult post-apocalyptic comedy death zombie fest) |
