Tom Goymour

Biography

Tom Goymour is an author of short stories aswell as an exponent of many other art forms.
A rich life with a large family has given him many powerful experiences from which to draw inspiration. He came to writing relatively late in life after having spent many years exploring other art forms such as writing music for the piano and painting fine art. However, it is as a writer of short fiction, always with the strong message that he now pursues as a second career. Empowered to write by his many and sometimes strange life experiences, his stories nearly always contain a 'twist' or a strong moral message to make the reader think.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The earliest book I remember reading for myself was 'The Last Battle' - the final part of the 'Narnia' chronicles by C.S.Lewis. My Dad used to read me these when I was very small. I can't really begin to describe the impact the whole thing had upon me, it's just such a great work throughout that makes you really think about . . well, everything!
When did you first start writing?
This is an interesting one to answer. Although I'd 'dabbled' - (I wrote stories as a child and teenager), I didn't really write anything serious until I hit my second half century.
Music is my greatest passion, - serious classical music. I have written many piano pieces. Also, my entire family seems to possess strong artistic talent with my father having been somewhat distinguished and successful as a watercolour artist. I have a few works to my name and have created some wall murals in my time as well as fine art paintings.
For me, writing is part of the creative jigsaw. I am a creative person, writing is something I do whenI have something to tell people about.
