About The Author
Tom Stewart
Tom Stewart tells stories about real people in real rooms. He notices the click of a ceiling fan, the hum of a switchboard, and the one dinner invite that can turn a stranger into family. His writing is rich in humor, sympathy, and specific, tiny details that bring a world to life.
He loves dialogue that sounds like it’s actually happening. His style is quick, smart, a little messy, and characters who are brave enough to figure themselves out in public. He recreates Florida of the early 90s in 12TH AVE SOUTH with its blazing heat, its heart, and the silent courage you had to possess to be yourself in the 90s.
