About this author

Tom Harris is a writer of Middle Grade fiction for ages 9+ whose tales of adventure and fantasy are always laced with a twist of humour, horror and suspense.

A thirty seven year old ex-publican, he decided to return to University to complete an MA in Creative Writing. Living in Portsmouth, he is a member of S.C.B.W.I (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) the Portsmouth hub of New Writing South and a local writing group known as The Registry Writers. He has also recorded a number of longlisted and shortlisted short stories in national writing competitions in the UK in 2012.

The Amber Room is his debut novel.

Every man has some reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has others which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But finally there are still others which a man is even afraid to tell himself, and every decent man has a considerable number of such things stored away. That is, one can even say that the more decent he is, the greater the number of such things in his mind.Fyodor Dostoyevsky
