Meet Tom Mach
Tom won the J. Donald Coffin Memorial Book Award for Sissy!, two other awards for his
second novel, All Parts Together, and the Nelson Poetry Book Award for The Uni Verse.
Prior to writing books, he wrote hundreds of articles for such
publications as Writer’s Digest, Woman’s Day, Jack & Jill, and many others—as well as a short story that appeared in Stamp World.
His poetry is found in anthologies and published in newspapers.
A former editor of South Bay Accent magazine in California and Software Supermarket
in Ohio, Tom is active in the Kansas Authors Club and was
past president of two branches of the California Writers Club. In addition, he's taught advertising copywriting at
San Jose State University and is a requested speaker for organizations such as
schools, churches, libraries, and fraternal clubs.
He presented
fiction writing workshops at the East of Eden Writers Conference, Kansas University's Adult Education Department, Kansas Authors Club, Edison Community College, and Emporia State University.
Currently, Tom is working on his latest novel.
While still in junior high, inspired by his English teacher who introduced
him to the great classics, Tom typed out a 353 page novel
on a manual typewriter and sent it off to publishers;
that's when he first learned about rejection.

Writing a novel is the ultimate trip,” author Tom Mach says, “especially when I get so
involved with a character I feel as if I’ve lived in their skin.”
Mach deftly weaves numerous characters, multiple plots,
& an emotionally powerful
story to create a rich
tapestry of history
and fiction.”
