Tom is Biker (The v-twin powered kind...not a fan of peddling) that happens to enjoy writing Science Fiction and Fantasy.
Yes, the world's first Biker-Nerd.
In the past, he edited and contributed to Motorcycle Magazines, Blogs and short story sites about the Biker lifestyle. He also covered events, interviewed famous custom bike-builders and artists, as well as wrote/edited hundreds of articles.
When he was encouraged by "fans" to write novels, he did...just not the ones they thought he would. His favorite books are written by authors like Jim Butcher and Frank Herbert, Modessit and Feist, Asimov and Gibson, Weber and Jordan. And he decided to write what he likes to read, so he went with his second great love for subject matter (SciFi/fantasy), instead of his first (motorcycles/biker lifestyle).
He has numerous projects in the works, including more parts to his three SciFi series "Fabric of the Universe" (Space Opera Thriller), "The Maestru Series" (Alien contacts, galactic Empire, Vampires) and his latest "ManaTech: Mages" (FantaSci and Alternate History). There may even be a "fictional" account about the Biker lifestyle.
His political leanings, as well as Biker credo, have seeped into his writing and that is why he believes free enterprise, innovation and entrepreneurs will advance us to the stars.
He currently reside in Wisconsin (which sucks 6 months out of the year for riding) with his wife and dogs.
Ride safe, Ride often.

Threads – Fabric of the Universe by Tom Tinney is set just over 500 years into the future. There is a sadistic killer on the loose, and he could be anywhere in the universe - literally. Twin brothers, Mark and Matt Williams, have been recruited to serve in a special unit of the USS Marshals due to the special ability the twins have: threading, a type of mental communication that reads like a shorthand Twitter message. With special brain implants that are basically high powered computers, they can access almost unlimited data. With ISTEC, a company owned by an extremely wealthy group of people hiding their own explosive secret, Matt, aided by Mark stationed at headquarters, eventually becomes involved in finding the killer on the loose, and aiding in exposing the secret held by ISTEC for 300 years.
Threads - Fabric of the Universe is an incredibly complex story. Well written, and highly descriptive, the plot and subplots are layered nicely. There are a lot of characters in this book, with quite a bit of back story and technology to explain, but it was necessary to the story, and wasn't uninteresting. I do wish it could have been spread out more, but as I turned the last page, I'm glad I stayed with it. I think the author wove his own magical threads in creating characters and worlds that were very believable. With technology worth drooling over, I think this is what hardcore sci-fi readers dream of, and even those who aren't will find this an engrossing and enjoyable story.
