About the Author

I was born and grew up in Northern Ireland, in the historic city of Derry - Londonderry aptly coined 'Stroke City'. 'So - where do you come from, Tom?' I hear you ask...'
I live in the West Midlands of England in the attractive village of Kinver and write novels. Developing an e-book/pod publishing venture (TJB BOOKS) is a big challenge and eats into my writing time. Only myself to blame for that though!
Following publication of my DCI Matt Proctor crime thriller 'TOO SMART TO DIE', the second in the series 'IN IT FOR THE MONEY' is now released. I plan writing a cop Matt Proctor series.

My political thriller 'SARCOPHAGUS' is available as an ebook from amazon, print from Lulu.com.
'THE ZEPPELIN OF KINVER EDGE' is an illustrated short fiction based on the German Zeppelin raids on England in World War 1 (1916). (Print and ebook from amazon).
My short stories have been published in anthologies with some radio broadcasts and one act plays professionally performed in West Midlands theatres/arts venues.
