They have two daughters, five grandchildren, and attend Bethany United Methodist Church. Tom enjoys all sports, but baseball is his favorite. On Green Diamonds: Pursuing A Dream follows his first novel, If Tigers Were Angels: With God All Things Are Possible.
Nature, fishing, golf, and watching his grandchildren play sports, especially baseball, are things Tom loves. His passion for baseball started when he was a child, and he enjoys coaching and teaching his grandsons about America’s greatest pastime. As a pitcher back in the good ole days of his youth, he loved being one of the nine players on the green diamond . . . part of a team and having the responsibility that comes with being in charge. Standing on the mound with a one run lead, bases loaded, and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning provides an adrenaline rush that makes one appreciate being alive. The pressures of the moment, coupled with the will to complete the task for the team is one of the best feelings a person can have. It’s what sports, teamwork, life, and believing is all about. Win or lose, experiencing similar types of situations in life helps build character and determines the type of person we ultimately become.
Tom had a childhood dream to play professional baseball and pursued his dream with passion. Unfortunately, he wasn’t blessed with the talent necessary to fulfill that dream. Not to worry . . . it wasn’t meant to be, and that’s what life is all about. You move on, and learn to pursue new dreams. What Tom has found in his adulthood is a gift for telling and writing stories. He said that writing a book about sports . . . baseball . . . was a wonderful experience, and he enjoyed watching it come together. The same passion he had long ago for baseball has transferred into a current passion for writing novels, and that’s a good thing. The chance to bring some of his experiences to life in the form of a novel is a blessing in itself, and he does not take the opportunity for granted. Tom is no longer pursuing his dream . . . he’s actually living it!
Now . . . it’s time to yell, “Play ball!”ver menos
