Originally, I had planned to write a relationship story.
Fresh off the success of actually finishing a book, I dove right into the next one. Having always been fascinated by the idea of true love, love at first sight, soul mates; all that sort of bunk, I was raring to go. And I had characters and a broad plot outline bouncing aroun

Tom Trott
Born in Brighton, I went to school here, worked many jobs here, and have never lived anywhere else.
