- About Me and My Book:
- My book - Tom P's Fiddle - is a narrative nonfiction based on a true story. The events took place in Texas during the later part of the 19th century. Tom P Varnell, age 21, attends a party in Hill County. While outside with the farmer's daughter, Tom is accosted by the father with a short handled axe. A friend throws him a gun which he uses to deadly effect. Thus begins his adventures when Tom P goes on the run, fearing a lynch mob will end his life before a trial could take place.
Using family stories, legal documents, court records, and newspaper articles, I have re-created Tom's remarkable story. I have some of his original hand-written fiddle music. A local musician will be recording it for me. I plan to use this as a marketing tool. The audio on my player is Tom's original waltz composed at the turn of the 20th century.
I will be setting up my web page and blog soon. I am a retired history teacher who once I learned of Tom P's story knew it had to be written down.

Thanks for your message and joining my friends list.
I'm impressed with your dedication to research. In my opinion that's a critical element in producing a good book, and one that is too often ignored. Good job!
Tom P sounds like an interesting character. My historical fiction deals with Arizona, but whether it's Texas or Arizona there were some very interesting personalities in the the 19th century. I wish you success with the book and your ventures onto the Internet.
