About the Author\nTom Hall lives in Michigan with his beautiful wife and two amazing daughters. Brain Drive is his debut novel, and he's eternally grateful to anyone who's given the book a chance.\nHe graduated from Ferris State University in 2014 with a Doctor of Optometry degree. Although writing is a passion of his, he spends most of his time as a practicing optometrist. In his spare time he also enjoys camping, fishing, chess, and video games.\nSEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD CALEB SHAW’S eidetic memory makes him a valuable asset to a government that harvests children like him for their innate ability to create memory modules for the brain drive—an implantable device that stores information in the form of memories. 
Caleb discovers that his father has been sheltering him from the truth about the brain drive, and he begins to question everything he knows about the world he grew up in. When he is ripped from his home and taken to a classified government facility, his eyes are opened to the atrocities that are committed against children there in the interest of technological advancement. 
Caleb must learn to embrace the technology he has come to despise in order to save those he loves…

Better Times Than This: Youth Homelessness in Britain

'Tom Hall combines street-level research with academic study to reveal the true scale and nature of the problem of hidden homelessness in contemporary Britain.' Nick Davies, author of Dark Heart: The Shocking Truth about Hidden Britain 'Tom Hall writes with deep insight and a spare elegance. In the best realist tradition, he shows us the lives of homeless young people in an entirely fresh way. The reader, having been drawn into the creativity and despair of those lives, is left wondering if their problems are just those of a transitional phase, 'youth', or rather mark them for futures of permanent social exclusion.' Keith Hart, University of Aberdeen If the supposedly disaffected young provide the sub-text to so many of our social anxieties, then the young homeless loom larger here than most: our most vivid reminder of social exclusion, and exemplars too of what the tabloid press like to describe as the feckless, wilful poor. This book explores what life is really like for Britain's young homeless: estranged from their families, out of work and making do on the fringes of social security. The result is a vivid portrait of a pressing social problem. Based on extended fieldwork study - the author spent twelve months in the company of young people moving between hostel accommodation, rented bed-sit tenancies and episodes of rooflessness - Better Times Than This is Britain's first full ethnographic study of youth homelessness.

Stony Lonesome Big Game Hunts was written about hunting a variety of big game across the United States, Canada and Africa. Each chapter is about a different species of animal. Each of the chapters has some humor, a general description of the animal being hunted, and a tale of Tom and his friends as they hunt. The stories are about deer, bear, moose, pronghorn antelope, and 14 other big game animals. The author has tried to make each story as interesting and exciting as possible, without the back slapping braggadocio that you sometimes encounter in hunting books of this type.
