TOM JONES

Working at the Ballpark is his first book. He currently is writing two new books Risky Living (to be released by Skyhorse Publishing in October, 2009) and That First Year (to be published in 2010) shares candid and compelling face-to-face interviews with people whose lives changed drastically within the first year after a significant unexpected event. In this new book, readers will meet a high school star athlete who lost both legs after an ambush in Iraq; a couple who won the lottery; a man who received a life prison sentence for a crime he insists he did not commit; a first-year teacher; a woman who is treated differently than she expected after undergoing major cosmetic surgery; a mother whose child was kidnapped; a young family that lost everything in an arson-set fire; and, true stories from 40 other people who share their deeply personal stories about how they adjusted to major life changes, not always of their own making.
