About The Author
Tom Hron grew up in Northern Minnesota with a .22 rifle in one hand and The Call of the Wild in the other. He loved reading Jack London and Mark Twain and dreamed of the day when he could go on his own adventures. He learned to fly single and multiengine airplanes, floatplanes, and helicopters, which he’s flown throughout his life in Alaska and Canada. His company was recognized as the best source for bush planes, with aircraft going to places like Africa, Australia, and South America. He flew Hubert Humphrey around Minnesota when the vice-president won back his senate seat, and he was also a friend of Don Braun, the first man to land a wheeled cargo plane at the North Pole. Max Conrad, who set world records for long-distance flights, was another good friend. In 1983, he started another dealership in Anchorage on Lake Hood, the world’s largest seaplane base, where he worked for more than 20 years. Afterward, he fulfilled another dream of his, writing novels. Penguin in New York gave him a contract for the historical series, Whispers of the River, Whispers of the Mountain, and Whispers of the Wind. He continued to explore Alaska, which led to his invention, the PackAlarm, a pocket-sized bear alarm. In addition to his own encounters with them, two people he knew were killed in their tent by a grizzly near the Beaufort Sea. He now sells his alarm around the world. Friends told him to write a bear book to go along with the PackAlarm, so he wrote Fighting for your Life: Man-eaters Bears, which has become a best-seller. In 2012, he published a spy-thriller, The Kill Button, on Kindle, and now he has just released The River of Bones, an action-thriller about two bush pilots. Tom spends summers in Alaska looking for gold, something else he’s always wanted to do. His true-life adventures inspire his exciting stories
