Author Biography

Even though there has been (have been?) a number of authors writing under the pseudonym of Victor Appleton--and his good and faithful son, Victor II--the truth is there never has been a Victor Appleton. Look around you if you don't believe it. Do you know anyone named Victor Appleton? Live with someone by that name? I thought not! Now, if you were to look under Thomas Hudson you might just find a single face behind these recent novels and also the many, many short stories involving Tom, the people he works with, the inventions he has created, and even some stories involving his father, Damon Swift, and his mother, Anne, who is a secret super biologist for the FBI. Intrigued? I know I am! Oh, and forget about that "looking under Tom Hudson to find a face" thing.
