Tom studied English Literature at Queen Mary College, University of London, before embarking on a lengthy spell of inactivity.
He then set up a landscape gardening company with two friends in leafy Wimbledon. After almost two years of early starts, rainy days and tax returns, however, Tom realised that the pen is mightier
