Hello. My name is Thomas Trimble, call me Tom. I am a new independent author. As an introduction I need to tell you a bit about myself so you can understand the motivation for my books.
First, for my entire career I was an engineer involved in building and programming computers, since the idea for them basically first emerged. I worked for what was the Bell System and ended up retiring as what is called a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Labs. That interest and kind of a distrust for computers is the key motivation for my cyber based books.
The other main influence on my writing is a health issue. I have an illness called Congestive Heart Failure or CHF cause by a heart attack 32 years ago. I have gotten to know a lot of people with this condition and there are more joining that world every day. To try to share the knowledge I have gained from my own experience and talking to others, I wrote three books intended to help those patients who have CHF.
My latest and I think best book has just been published. It is an alternate history story based on time travel one of my favorite subjects. Please enjoy my books.
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
