Author Biography

As has been explained, nearly ad nauseum, Victor Appleton, both the original and is "son" Victor II, never really existed. They were house pen names for authors for hire to write stories for one-time fees and no royalties. But new a new approach is being taken. Thomas Hudson is an author of some 40-plus books, many of them in the world and realm of Tom Swift. He lives and writes in a small hamlet in the Pacific Northwest where he constantly ducks rain and snow, fights evil moss in his grass and on his roof, and pressure washes his driveway at least once a year so the cars don;t slip down and into the street during a light breeze.
