Probably a little known author, but one who had a disproportional influence on me. I am pretty sure I have read every book he wrote which I cannot say for any other author. Guess that made me a fan. Not heard anything about him for years. Will have to go dig out my old books from 25 years ago. RIP Tom, you made me laugh and you made me think, in equal measure.

I loved that girl with big thumbs, sadly never met her whilst I had mine out at the side of the road.
