About the Author
Physician turned internationally bestselling author. Twenty-five years as an emergency physician in busy inner-city, level-one trauma centers provide Tom Combs' background for his gripping stories. High-stakes, deadly conflict, unforgettable characters and a flawed individual who is compelled to protect others are central to his books.
MORE: Working his way through college Tom worked jobs using jackhammers, chainsaws, and heavy machinery. At the University of Minnesota he was a biochemistry major and subsequently a research assistant in pharmacology. He spent the year prior to starting medical school working as a technical writer for a technology firm.
His medical internship was served at Hennepin County Medical Center where he was introduced to the fledgling specialty of Emergency Medicine (EM). For the next 3 years he received advanced training in his chosen specialty and served as a helicopter rescue "flight physician" in the University of Cincinnati emergency medicine residency program.
For more than two decades he worked as an emergency physician in busy, inner-city level one trauma hospitals. His experiences, the life-or-death drama, and the fascinating people he was intimately involved with inform his compelling fiction.
For Tom, a passion for reading has been a lifelong gift. He's thrilled to provide stories that engage, excite, and entertain his readers. Tom lives with his artist wife on a lake in his beloved home state of Minnesota. He is currently at work on the next book in the Drake Cody series. Feel free to contact him at tcombsauthor@gmail.com
