BIOGRAPHY

Tom East in May 2025

Tom in May 2025

Picture by Renata Lemanska

Prior to INFIDEL in June 2025, Tom East's most recent full-length publication, in January, 2025, was TOMMY'S WAR: JULY 1914. This is nothing less than an account of an attempt to shorten WW1 in that summer month.

Other books still available include this year's  TOMMY'S WAR: JULY 1914. This is nothing less than an account of an attempt to shorten WW1 in that summer month. Then there is the controversial novel THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO St JUDAS, the unsparing non-fiction of LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE, about recovery from two brain haemorrhages (one type of stroke), and the three volumes in the Eldritch Collections

Earlier, Tom was the writer of many works of fiction, commercial features, essays, reviews, 'other prose' and poetry. He was the author of six (print) books. 

He was born in London, although of a Welsh family and lived in Wales for many years.
