Tom Lyons wrote a lot of poetry in the 70's and 80's and had some success at being published in a couple of poetry magazines. His job as an Auditor, A COO and a Management Consultant kept him on the road for nearly 30 years. During the last few years Tom turned to writing novels, first a western and now working on a mystery. Five years ago he bought the New England Mobile Book Fair, the largest independent brick and mortar book store in New England. Recently among author events he has started holding well attended poetry readings. This led to having a poetry group meet at the store twice a month. He was once again inspired to create. This is some of his new work.
