Thomas P. Tiernan is former substitute teacher turned author of The Curious Journey Of Emily Breck, Blood On The Sand And The War Of The God-Shard Series. He has a BA in History and English and divides his time between New Jersey and Florida.

He writes books for those who like thought-provoking situations inhabited by people you could find in the local mall or walking along a sunny boardwalk. These ordinary folk who find themselves caught up in circumstances beyond their control. They are swept away by the tide of events, unable to do anything except try to move in their direction.

Tom always has a pad and pen with him, as stories pop up int the most unusual places. Once, while standing in ankle-deep water watching the sun go down in Florida, he imagined that there could be something just beyond the waves, looking to pull him under and eat him. Of course, a story popped into his head, complete with a protagonist and his friends, plus an antagonist that has kept him out of the water for years.
