Writing for Readers of All Ages

By Writers:

Tom writes stories, from short story to novel length, for young readers and their families. Many of his works in progress are about children and teens living with disabilities, difficulties, and embarrassments and how they deal with responsibility and the truth about themselves. Three of the shorter stories have been published in Friends Bulletin, and one, I Don't Want to Talk About It was reprinted in the collection, Healing Heart ~ Families on using storytelling to encourage caring and healthy families, edited by Allison Cox and David Albert. Articles by Tom have been published in Quaker magazines and on the Sleepwetting Forum web-site.
