    Tom Edwards

    Hi, I am Tom, I have always been a writer. I pencilled my first novel in my pre-teens and then became a news reporter, before moving on to publish travel articles and short-story fiction. Then something called 'life' got in the way: chiefly twenty years leading adventure tours and a stint as a college lecturer. Now I'm back writing full time, so you will soon be seeing a lot more of my work – everything from action adventures to historical romances, travel stuff to romantic teen fiction - and there will be a new web-site too and lots of social media connections. You see, not only am I writing again, but I have finally opened the social media bottle and the genie's got out. For the time being, I hope you enjoy what's available. All the best Tom Edwards

      WHY YOU NEED THIS BOOK

Indeed that alone would, for many users, justify the very low $35 Chromecast price tag, but we are here to tell you that this seemingly innocent pocket-sized device offers you way, way more than that.
