Life

Thomas Eidson started out as a newspaper reporter in California and has been writing since high school, from a teleplay entitled The Miracle to profiles and features for hotel publications and airline in-flight magazines. His four books are set in the 19th century Old West. The passion for this historical era stems in part from deep family roots in Kansas, where his grandfather owned and ran a cattle ranch.

For his day job he works in public relations at Fidelity Investments in Boston.
