Tom Flynn

Tom lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wonderful wife, his amazing daughter, and their cute little dog. Tom spent his early twenties as an aspiring playwright putting up shows on small stages around Los Angeles. The responsibility of adulthood came calling and Tom spent the next two decades building his career in the tech industry, but he just couldn't shake the writing bug. So here we are today. Tom writes stories about very recognizable, imperfect people that face steadily growing challenges. These people are either forced to change or they falter under the weight of refusing to change. Tom's influences are Tennessee Williams, Sandra Cisneros, and Haruki Murakami. A Girl Named Dara is Tom's first novel, published in August of 2021. Sawtelle Gemini is his second novel, published in February of 2024.
