Tom Fowler

Tom Fowler was born and raised in Baltimore and still resides in Maryland. He is an unabashed homer for Baltimore sports teams. His full-time job is in the field of computer security. Even from a young age, Tom wanted to write. He was about seven or eight, so the stories were brief and awful. Among them was a "murder mystery" in which young Tom, a polite lad, referred to everyone as "Mr. Patrick" or "Miss Jane." The most interesting thing about the alleged murder mystery was that no one died (and, in fact, everyone recovered quite nicely in the hospital). In the intervening years, Tom has gotten over this problem with killing characters in his stories. When not working or writing, Tom enjoys spending time with his family and friends, reading, sports, movies, and writing brief bios in the third person.

Introduction

Part of the lore surrounding Ernest Hemingway is a bet he made that he could write a complete story using just six words. He won the bet. His story was, For sale, baby shoes, never worn. Even though there were just six words, the mind supplies the details.

Exploring the story further, I found there is a vast universe of people and organizations who continue to pursue Hemingway’s six-word challenge. Enter six-word stories into your internet search engine and this universe will open to you.

Over coffee one morning, I shared the Hemingway story with Lonnie Pacelli, a friend with an inquisitive and creative mind. Lonnie is a prolific author, a successful business owner, and a management consultant. He seized the idea of creating a series of books based on the
