About The Author

T. Lawton Carney is the published author of three highly successful nonfiction books on the business of interior design under the name of Thomas L. Williams. Tom has also contributed to the premier issue of the Santa Barbara Literary Journal and co-written interior design forecast pieces and written for local and regional newspapers. His fiction ranges from galactic adventure in the far future to a near-future murder mystery series featuring Sam Markum. The series brings the glamour and intrigue of the 1930s to a late 21st-century future with all the action and adventure one would expect from a suave private eye. Tom embraces the concept of a future in which all mankind is the beneficiary of the exploration that will take us to the moon, the planets, and ultimately the stars. With his husband Robert, Tom has lived on the East Coast of the United States, London, England, Carmel, California, and now Palm Springs, California. They have traveled extensively and enjoy a wide range of interests.
