About this author


So, on April 19, 2011, Random House will publish "The Tragedy of Arthur".

This is a complicated situation, not quite like my other book releases.

I'll start with this: I don't think that this play was written by William Shakespeare. I know my opinion isn't the only one that counts, but there it is.

Lily I just finished reading "the song is you" and I really loved it. During the last 15 pages I had this desperate need to listen to "I cover the waterfront" because I had never heard it before. I found myself searching itunes for a live copy, just hoping to hear Julian's father on the beginning of the track.

It's been awhile since I've read a book I enjoyed this much. Thank you so much.

Thanks, Tom - that's very gratifying, to say the least.
