Barroom-floor philosopher, recovering plagiarist, and aspiring author Tom Hovland inadvertently humored a classroom to laughter a half century ago during the recitation of a middle-school writing assignment. He has worked ever since to duplicate that gleeful reward, succeeding occasionally at inappropriate times, battling reality all the while, armed with little more than a fading imagination.
General recklessness caused Tom to abandon safe careers as an engineer and technical writer/editor in favor of exploits as a flight instructor, charter pilot, and his current position as an airline pilot instructor. A fictional exaggeration of those experiences eventually mutated into a mystery novel in need of repair. In pursuit of this goal, Tom needs your advice and welcomes your critiques, comments, and suggestions. Please reach out below:
