More About the Author

I write books across a lot of different genres and styles. I've got some sci-fi, some mystery, some satire, some young adult, a little kids' book, and some just plain old-fashioned stories. Most are short and easy to read, are sometimes funny and often feature unexpected endings.

Some of my books are related to each other, sharing characters, locales and plots.

Snapdragon Alley, Freak City and Dragon Town comprise "The Dragon City Trilogy"

The "All Geeked Up" collection includes World Weary Avengers, Ledman Pickup, and In Constant Contact

"The Secret Trilogy" is 'Chaos Fiction' and includes Squatter with a Lexus, Secret Sidewalk, and Hidden Highway

"Rays and Nights" is a collection of cross-genre stories that share certain characters, and includes the faux-horror Zombie Nights, the sci-fi Death Ray Butterfly and the coming-of age stories of Raisinheart

Fissure Monroe features the intrepid private eye, Dawn Debris.

Missy Tonight follows Orange Car with Stripes in these stories of Atheist Comic Sci-Fi Pulp Fiction.

Golden is a screenplay based on Time Zone. Jimmyland is a screenplay based on Phantom of the Mall.

Inspector Mole pops up all over the place.

If you like one, chances are you'll like another, and if you don't, well, thanks for giving it a try!

4.0 out of 5 stars Creative and funny, July 18, 2011

This review is from: Squatter With a Lexus (Paperback)

I laughed so many times while reading this short novel. Part of the humor was provided by the unusual structure, the ever-increasing list of newly introduced characters. You don't need to keep track of the characters--just go with the hilarious flow. This writer seems to be breaking the rules of conventional fiction on purpose and with wonderful results.

As I read Squatter With a Lexus, I found myself thinking about how well written the dialogue was. Unfortunately, I wasn't following the assortment of varied characters as well as I could have, so I needed to backtrack a few times to see who said what, thereby messing up the story's rhythm. It was a much better than average story, but lacked a truly excellent plot or well defined characters. This is the first of Tom Lichtenberg I've read, but it will not be my last.

It started out with great promise but I found it died too soon. I found it predictable and wanted better character closure. Well written, though.
