Biographie de l'auteur

Thomas McHenry was born in Houston, Texas and is a self professed member of the "baby boomer" generation. He attended Texas Tech University majoring in Journalism and moved back to Houston to attend college locally, changing his major to Theater Arts. It was during this time that he began a career on the stage working as a "traveling actor" with a small theater company. After several years of fulfilling his ambition of acting (and very little money), he changed course and elected to go into the travel industry. His career in the international airline industry took him to Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and ultimately back "home" to Houston. It was when he was chosen to serve as a juror on a highly-publicized capital murder trial in 2000 that he put pen to paper and began to record the dynamics of the trial as it unfolded. The result of this experience ultimately became, "Along the Rails: A Juror's Journey". This is his first book and he is at work on his second. He is currently reentering the acting profession, having completed study at the Acting Corp. in Los Angeles. He has recently completed a role in the feature film, "Spiritual," due to be released in 2007.
