Tom Onstott
Biography
Raised in a mining camp near Yellowstone Park was an experience that was void of many amenities enjoyed by most youngsters; yet an upbringing TOM ONSTOTT says he would not trade for anything. Even without a movie theater, soda fountain or youth center, he and his boyhood friends entertained themselves in simple ways: sledding, fishing, hunting and of course forming little secret societies.
Tom’s passion for writing was spawned during college, but did not reach full bloom until he took early retirement to write full-time. He has authored nine novels in the past ten years. His first attempt at writing a book was when he labored through his own memoir; an effort he now classifies as an amateurish mess. Without benefit of a rewrite or edit, it was delivered to his three sons at Christmas time, an act he hopes they accept as a token of love.
NOVELS:
Sniper
