Author Biography

While Victor Appleton is a figment of some deranged imagination, and originally meant to allow multiple authors to write so many books in less time that humanly possible, "he" is now a single (yet married) author toiling at his keyboard by day and night. Thomas Hudson has been writing fiction since he was about twelve or thirteen, and doing some serious writing as both Victor Appleton II and himself (and others such as T. Edward Fox and Clarence Young IV) in and around the world of Tom Swift since 2009. With over 64 books in print, he feels it is safe to consider him "prolific." And, not in a dirty way!
