Tom Lytes

At an impressionable age, Tom Lytes's family moved from Manhattan to a rural farm - a dramatic change in scenery and culture that shaped the next decades of his life. \nFrom a small town to an Ivy League school was the next drastic culture shift, and many others followed in Tom's study of culture, anthropology and economics which brought him to Africa, the Arctic Circle and Europe over many years. Tom Lytes captures the feeling of displacement in his thrillers. His engaging, real characters find themselves in extraordinary circumstances yet somehow find the grit and intelligence to overcome unusual obstacles.\nTom Lytes previously worked in fashion in New York and Europe, has championed historic buildings with restoration projects appearing in television shows, on MSNBC, in Travel and Leisure Magazine, Money Magazine, Flying Magazine and in several books.
