Thomas Rowe Drinkard was born and reared in the Deep South—Alabama.
He graduated from the University of North Alabama with a degree in English. At graduation, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army and went on active duty eight days later.
Within two years, he volunteered and was accepted into the Special Forces (Green Berets). After Airborne and Special Forces school, he'd found a home. With a few other assignments in between, he spent ten years with the fabled unit. He was unhappy with the Army's plans for his future and left active duty, joining the reserves. He is now a Major, retired reserve.
After the Army, he found his way into teaching and writing in the securities licensing preparation business. His textbooks, articles and CE courses are in use today.
His poetry can be found in a number of literary magazines, including Negative Capability, Cotton Boll/Atlanta Review, Elk River Review and several others.
"Piety and Murder" was his first piece of long fiction to be published. Since publishing that book, he has published "Where There Were No Innocents," "Devil's Blade," "V-Trooper-First Mission,"V-Trooper-Second Mission-The Demon," "Warrior's Psalm,""Overload," "The Shepherd Left Behind, and "Swift & Co. The "V-Trooper" books and "Warrior's Psalm" are novellas.
"Piety and Murder" has been rewritten and will be republished in the Fall of 2017 as "Murder And The Preacher."
