Born and raised in America, Tom Fusby has lived most of his life in Europe, teaching at universities in Germany and England. When he was not teaching, Tom visited such places as Cuba and Mexico, Ethiopia and Uganda, Israel and Jordan, Peru and Vietnam and, somewhat obsessively, India and Nepal. Tom is now retired and spends his days working his way through his retirement library, riding his bike around the Bedfordshire countryside and, now and then, thinking about moving to Wiltshire and getting some goats. Again.
