Biography
Born and raised in Michigan, Thomas Lindsey Odell spends time writing, reading and socializing with his dog. Favorite authors/books:
All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy.
Stephen King, Hearts in Atlantis.
The Shipping News, Annie Proulx.
Water Music, T.C. Boyle.
Why I write: It is relaxing, provides purpose and a deep sense of accomplishment that I don't find in other activities. Best time for my writing is morning. I have a vast collection of writing 'help' books, they all focus on the same 5-10 'rules'. There is no trick, shortcut or easy road. If you don't write, you won't ever finish. Write every day, read...read...read.

Another fantastic story, a short read that feels a thousand miles deep because of the attention to detail and excellent development of the characters and relationships between them.
