Thrilled to receive a Smith-Corona typewriter at 11 years old, Thom has been writing all his life. After a 3 decade career as a senior business executive and spending too many nights in hotels around the globe, he now lives south of Atlanta, GA on his family's farm with his wife of 40+ years. Three daughters who live nearby and 7 grandchildren are frequent visitors to The Farm and provide a constant source of inspiration for telling stories. Some of these stories, make their way into children's books recounting Adventures on the Farm. Back off Buzz! Is one of those tales!
The 27 original illustrations in Back Off Buzz are conceived and drawn by Ingrid Orlando-Zon, an artist living in Italy. Ingrid's expressive drawings capture the imagination of children and, for a moment in time, take them to a magical place where they enjoy learning about life.
