Q: What inspired you to start writing?
I had a desire to be an author all my life. But it didn't come to past until late in life. It was after 39 years working for an airline that I got the opportunity. But then, I had no idea what to write. My wife came up with the perfect solution. She said, "Tom, you have had a very interesting life, so why not write your memoirs." BINGO

Q: Can you tell us a little about your latest book?
The Abduction Chronicles was written after I wrote my memoirs, "The Comeback Kid". After my first marriage, my ex-wife claimed that we had been abducted by aliens. She was know to have some mental issues, so I never believed her. But after I wrote my memoirs, I got to thinking, "what if she was right?" Behold, "The Abduction Chronicles" popped into my head. I didn't even have to think about what to write. Each page came as if I had lived and remembered it.
