T. J. Silverio began his writing career creating song lyrics. During many years in manufacturing management his muse patiently waited until he was ready to tell his stories. Curiosity draws him to diverse topics - from the ethical dilemma of genetic research to the mysteries of Stonehenge – but within each story his characters struggle with the complex issues of love, integrity and reality. His imagination takes him on journeys beyond our “circles of certainty,” where he claims adventure and wisdom reside. Tom and his wife Susan live on Amelia Island, Florida and in Raleigh, North Carolina.
