Hafa Dai. I'm Tom Sanders and this is my home here in cyberspace.
You will find a rather eclectic mix of topics and information on these pages. They reflect my interests and focus mostly on what I am doing now, researching and writing. Writing fiction is a third career for me after 20+ years as an international television journalist and a five year interlude as 'King of Somewhere Hot'. I established this website to introduce visitors to my writing with the objective of getting published, preferably pre-posthumously. While my focus is on the printed word, some of these projects are quite suitable for television or movie adaptation. The truth, of course, is in the writing. It's either good or it isn't. That's for you to decide.
WHAT'S HAPPENING..THE LATEST
Tom is scheduled for DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) surgery April 21st. He has started a log/diary. This is Tom not Michael J. Fox and this is not for the easily offended. With that caveat, you can access it on the Parkinsons page below.

ork in late August, Tom was a guest of talk show host Joey Reynolds., the topic Gott Mit Uns and Hemingway. The Joey Reynolds show is broadcast nationwide to more than 100 stations. Give it a listen.

Relax in a rocking chair on the balcony of the Bay Hotel. Set your Margarita where you can reach it easily. A musician in a bar down the street is singing a Jimmy Buffet song, ' King of Somewhere Hot' . It's a perfect setting to read a short story from SOUTHERN EXPOSURE.
In 1783,
The British East India Ship
Antelope crashed onto a reef in
uncharted waters of the Western Pacific. So
begins
THE PRINCE,
the story of Lee Boo, a native of the islands today
known as Palau and Belau. If you enjoy tales of
the sea, adventure and history, these first two
chapters are well worth the time it will take you to
read them.

This page has been hijacked by resident basset hound in the Sanders household. It was intended to be one of those schmaltzy tributes to this great breed of dog, so maybe this is for the best. In the BARNABY CHRONICLES, Volume 1 - Barnaby talks to the late John Lennon about the Beatles and Yoko.
GOTT MIT UNS,
the strange but true
story of Ernest Hemingway's Nazi belt buckle is
undergoing a thorough re-write for submission to
publishers. That which can be accessed on this
website is very much a work in progress, and is only
'the tip of the iceberg'
I heard this song recently titled 'Hemingway' by an excellent bunch of musicians called BLOF from Holland. I could not get it out of my head so I edited a video to the music titled Hemingway's HAVANA.
I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did editing it.
