Writer to Writer – Featured Guest

What a an enormous honor to be in conversation with award-winning novelist and screenwriter of the the cult classic film, One False Move (with Billy Bob Thornton, Tom’s childhood friend!). To say that Tom knows how to enrapture readers would be the use of small, round words describing brilliance.

Tom joined Ken Rodgers and me (Rebecca Evans) on our radio show, WRITER TO WRITER, on Stray Theater, Radio Boise.

Tom’s books, from Edgar-nominated The Kind One, deemed “an impressive debut” (Publishers Weekly), to his “exquisitely written, expertly plotted” (Booklist) novel Sailor, are literary, fast-paced, metaphorical, and fresh. Tom’s latest offering, perhaps his most engaging and provocative yet, Baby Hawk, is an alluring work that’s surprising not only to his readers but to himself as well.

In our show, Tom shares a bit about voice, creative pursuits, and allowing a story to settle in your bones before, during, and after the writing process.

Give yourself a New Year’s gift and buy any one of Tom’s books. Settle in with a cup of joe, tea, or whiskey. Settle into your own bones with words that will stay with you for all of time.
