Tom Crowley

Tom Crowley’s origins are in the Midwest American town of Milwaukee, although virtually his entire adult life has been living in Asia working in positions with the military as a rifle platoon leader in Vietnam, the diplomatic corps, the intelligence field and with corporations marketing or investing in electric power generation until the Asian financial crash of 1997.

Living in Thailand at the time of the crash he decided to explore a different path in life and volunteered at the Mercy Centre, a Bangkok based NGO working to provide education to the poorest slum children, provide shelter for street children and treatment for children and adults with Hiv/Aids. Tom has continued with programs assisting street kids to this time. His writing reflects his varied experiences living and working in Asia. He is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Military Writers Society of America. He divides his time between a home in Kensington, Maryland in the U.S. and Bangkok.

His primary writing interest is in creating good action/adventure fiction built around the character of Matt Chance, an ex US Army ranger wounded in action and retired in Bangkok. Tom enjoys the writing of both Connellys, Michael and John, Elmore Leonard, and Stephen Hunter amongst others.
