Thomas M. Reid’s lifelong dream was to be a professional couch flopper, but those plans were dashed when his father announced that he was “no longer on the payroll” after he completed his studies at the University of Texas. He was instead forced into a nomadic lifestyle, gathering berries and catching fish with his bare hands in such places as Indiana, Wisconsin, and Washington state.
Today, Thomas pretends to be a freelance author and editor in the greater Austin, Texas area with his beautiful wife Teresa and three boys, Aidan, Galen, and Quinton, along with two cats named Mystra and Selûne. To his great delight, he has rediscovered the joys of the couch when he’s supposed to be working.
