The Last American Martyr
Tom Winton was born and raised in New York City.  During his working career, he has done everything from working on a railroad gang in the Colorado Rockies to driving a taxicab in Manhattan.  He has also been a mailman, a salesman, an entrepreneur and more.  Now retired, Tom lives in Hobe Sound, Florida, with his wife Blanche and their ill-tempered but loveable Jack Russell Terrier, Ginger.  They spend part of their time in Carmel, Maine.          The Kindle version of Tom’s first novel, Beyond Nostalgia, has been on four Amazon Best Seller lists at the same time.  He is now seeking an agent or publisher for it and his recently completed second novel, The Last American Martyr.  As Beyond Nostalgia was in 2011, The Last American Martyr is now a finalist for Random House’s "2012 Book of the Year."
