I've always been fascinated with the printed word. That's why I became a journalist.

I believe you should put something of yourself into the work. That helps writer and reader connect.

My mother was an English major and my grandmother taught me to express my creativity in any way I enjoyed. At an early age, I realized writing prose that rhymed came naturally to me. That is how my writing journey started...

I published "Music Maker's Brand Marketing, PR & Digital Strategy Survival Guide" in October 2025. Then I just published the sixth and final book in my "Six of One Half Doz of the Other" series for children of all ages, "The Stitchy Adventures of Black Widow & Ant." I am not very niche!

My mother inspired me to write at a very young age. She would sit and read to my siblings and me, telling us stories about her life growing up. I loved those stories. My mother shared so much with us that I began writing and telling my own stories during our family nights when I was about nine years old.

My lates book is a fanciful story about a boy who wants to become a dolphin. When children read my book they will experience an exciting adventure reading about what it's like to be a dolphin.

From reading Louis L'Amour books as a teenager. The dream started then but the ability hadn't developed.

Where Rivers Run West is a historical fiction saga from the American frontier. It is loosely based on my great grandfather's migration to the West from an Indiana farm. It is not exactly his journey, but his journey was something similar to Rory's.

I started writing because I was always searching for answers that history, mythology, and theology never seemed to fully provide. As a child, I was drawn to the stories hidden beneath the stories—the myths that survived for thousands of years, the legends whispered around ancient ruins, and the questions people have wrestled with since the beginning of time. Why do we fall? Can we be redeemed? What is worth sacrificing everything for? The more I read, the more I realized that fiction allows us to explore those questions in ways facts alone cannot. Writing became a way to wander through those mysteries. It allowed me to imagine conversations between angels and demons, heroes and villains, saints and sinners, and to explore the fragile space where darkness and light meet. In many ways, I don't think I chose writing. I think the stories found me first. I simply followed them into the shadows and kept asking questions.

My Guardian Dear is a dark fantasy about love, temptation, and the choices that define us. At its heart is Samantha Brandt, a woman whose faith has always been her anchor, and Damon, a fallen angel who has spent centuries believing he is beyond redemption. Their worlds should never collide, yet from the moment they do, both are forced to confront truths they'd rather avoid. As ancient forces move behind the scenes, Samantha finds herself caught in a conflict far older than humanity itself—a war between Heaven and Hell where loyalty is tested, destinies are rewritten, and every choice comes with a price. But beneath the supernatural elements, My Guardian Dear asks a deeply human question: Can love transform us, or does it simply reveal who we truly are? Readers can expect forbidden attraction, celestial intrigue, dangerous bargains, spiritual warfare, and characters who exist in the gray spaces between good and evil. It's a story for anyone who has ever been fascinated by redemption, captivated by morally complex characters, or wondered whether even the most broken soul can find a way back to the light. After all, the most dangerous demons are not always the ones who want to destroy us. Sometimes they're the ones willing to burn the world to save us.

My dad is the reason I write. He wasn't a writer by trade, he fixed cars. My father learned to be a mechanic in my Uncle Tony's garage in Hartford, Connecticut during the depression. He went on to fight in World War Two. Once he returned home, he met and married my mother and started a family. At night he told me stories about the little boy factory and Archibald Popscaluski. He made Archibald up and factories and as I grew up, his stories always stayed with me. My dad was a master storyteller and that's what inspired me to write.

The latest book in the Bruce Westman series is called Missing. This is loosely based off of a case in Houston, Texas. A 15-year-old girl stepped off her school bus and was never seen again. As a retired police officer, this story touched my heart so much that I wrote and dedicated a story to her. My private investigator, Bruce Westman, is hired by a mother whose daughter has been missing for 16 years. She hires Bruce because she is dying of cancer and wishes to see her child before she dies.

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

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.

My Dad was a writer, artist, painter, dancer, and concert pianist. He always inspired me, saying I was extremely creative, so after his death in 2003, I wrote and illustrated two children's books. Since then, I've written and published over 32 books in every genre.

The two projects I'm working on simultaneously are a 3-book science fiction series about a superior intelligent entity discovered deep within the Earth, since early mankind observed crashing into our planet. (The Velathri Cycle Series) The other book is the true story of my Mom's parents, who immigrated from Italy in the early 1920s, and the struggles they encountered. (Echoes of Lamoli - A True Story)

The initial idea was to consider what would actually happen if all digital devices stopped working overnight. We are becoming more and more dependent on countless digital helpers - smartphones, navigation devices, laptops, iPads, tablets, smart TVs, smartwatches, Alexa, Siri, Cortana, smart homes, Google, the Internet etc.. But what if all those helpers suddenly stopped working? A worldwide EMP, triggered by a gigantic solar storm, could do the trick. Based on this idea, I started to design possible scenarios that branched out and condensed more and more during the writing process.

”The Superflare” is my first novel. It is a science fiction story and thus belongs to a genre that has fascinated me since I was young. At the same time, it is an adventure story and explores how people might behave in extreme situations. This is my main interest as a writer – to explore and describe the possibilities of human behavior in extreme situations. How do people react to pressures and crises? How do they change and shape themselves? Dystopias are only one of several possible settings to tell such stories. Will I write more books with a post-apocalyptic backdrop? The future will tell.

Life inspires me to write. Writing is my lifestyle.

"It Could Be Me" is my latest poetry book. It's available on Amazon, Kobo and Written App. It's a new released book.
