About Tom Qadim

Tom was born in Niceville, Florida. (Seriously. Niceville.) He fell in love with monsters and the macabre at an alarmingly young age, and fondly recalls scribbling a very disturbing number of monsters-eating-stick-people scenes that, had his parents been slightly more responsible, should surely have landed him in psychiatric care.

Tom attended the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!), where he somehow lucked into snagging a lucrative English degree. Some xxx years later, he cringes with the knowledge that he is now a [semi-]responsible, married adult, that works a typical 9-5 (ok, it's really a 7-3, sue me), and owns a life insurance policy.

Tom resides in Northeast Florida, with his beautiful wife Tonya, awesome daughter Olivia (born 10/26/11!), an adorable Yorkie named Arayo, and stereotypically aloof kitty-cat, Byron.

Factoid: Tom fears and despises circus clowns.
