' Germany ', ' Denmark ', ' France ',' Belgium,' ' Northern Ireland ', ' The Falkland Islands ', ' Cyprus ', ' England ', and ' Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. Followed by a further couple of years in a T.A. Unit. ', Hence the Military slant to a lot of my poetry."

Tom's Poetry is Raw, Emotional, Funny, and at times sad enough to bring out the tissues. He always tells it 'like it is' and it is always from the heart. Tom has this gift of writing from 'Other people's shoes’ as well as his own. His life in the Military has inspired many of the Soldier/War poems and his fight against Cancer reflects the sadness and trauma of this terrible illness. Tom is a popular British Poet who has already gained a large following Worldwide. This is Tom's second book in the series, 'Poems for Paula' being his first. A 'Warts and all' book to join others on your bookshelf!
