As a freelance my ramblings (reviews,
views, columns and interviews) have appeared in The Boston Phoenix, Web del Sol, The Improper Bostonian, Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
Film Threat, Playboy.com and E! Online. I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts; enjoy yoga, long
walks in the woods and try to ride my bike everywhere. My fiction and essays
can be found at/in Thieves
Jargon (a great little e-zine), Slow
Trains and Word Riot. My short, Antenuptial was a finalist for the 2005 Bukowski Pint and Pen short story competition and The Season That Almost
Wasn’t won 1st
place in the 2006 Open Window contest at Ghost Road Press. In the Spring of 2007, his
short, Scrambling was included in Grub Street’s 10th year, best
of anthology, Hacks. You can get all Tom’s stories and articles in the Vault.
I’ve also done some radio
and TV as a regular on the Taste
of Boston Tonight show on WRKO (680) with host Todd Feinburg, the Arnie Arnesen show on WNTK, New Hampshire, and the David Brudnoy
show (a friend, sadly no longer with us) on WBZ.
I also appear regularly on New
England Cable News.
