Tom Fitzpatrick was born in Montgomery, Alabama, and has lived there contentedly ever since. He obtained a Phi Beta Kappa key and undergraduate degree in English Literature from the University of Alabama, followed by a degree from the University Law School. Wife Lillian and he are parents of psychiatrist Karen, electrical engineer Fitz, and intellectual property attorney Will. After fifty years as specialist in real estate law, during which Fitzpatrick was granted by a national directory the infrequently bestowed "A" rating, he has retired to write, and again to peer down the road of English studies. This is his second collection of casual pieces.
