Tom is an avid swimmer, skier, world traveler and artist. All of the artwork you see on the GAMADIN website is his, including the cover and interior art for his novels. The GAMADIN book series evolved from Tom's love of science fiction and the desire to write a thrill-packed, character driven adventure for young adults. Tom moved from the beaches of San Diego to the trees of Oregon in 2012. He still speaks to classrooms, writers groups, and book clubs all over the country about writing.
