Consider reading A Big World or The Last Girl On Earth
By Mark Schadenberg
I wrote professionally for seven years as sports editor
of The Woodstock Sentinel-Review. An ability to avoid writer’s block was key in
a local newspaper as I would churn out story after story – likely in the range
of 250 Woodstock Navy Vets hockey game stories, for example.
I have always admired those who could fabricate words in
the long form, create interesting characters, compose sidebar angles, maintain
a consistent theme, draw a picture with prose, and wrap up a journey in about 250
pages.
Writing a novel would be a daunting task – a novel idea --
to say the list.
One friend of mine, has written 10 books and the topics
range from pure fiction to penning a parallel to actual people, places and events.
Tom Ryerson lives in Woodstock, but I’d like to know
where his crafty mind lives as he weaves his interesting tales.
Citizens Of Our Earth
His latest book is The Last Girl On Earth. It’s an
interesting premise about survival, ingenuity and discovery as two people
realize they are possibly the last two remaining citizens of Earth.
Look up Tom Ryerson on www.traveloguebook.com, Facebook, Kindle,
Amazon or simply Google this local author for more titles that can be enjoyed.
I know Tom would likely tell you the must-read is A Big
World, which is an interpretive biography on Wm Edwy Ryerson, who cruised on
the Titanic, and participated in both the First World War and Boer War.
Ryerson is not making millions as a writer, but like all
storytellers spends as much time promoting his projects wherever he can,
including an appearance on CKCO TV noon news earlier this year, attending
specific book fairs where you can meet the author, or featured interviews on
Rogers TV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzaE_RycR_E

Tom's Library
Other books include Travelogue, Carnal Wreckage, Fun
City, April’s Call, The Anatomy Of A Mermaid, and Castle Lake.
If you visit the website, you will also see information
about one of his music projects called Absolute Beginners. Not commenting on
his musical talents, but solely his writing, Tom is an accomplished
up-and-coming writer who will soon break out to a prominent shelf at book
stores. He is not a beginner, but rather a talented typist.
