About Me

My name is Tom Dearden. I was born in Hammersmith, West London in April 1980, my mother screaming to turn the footy off the telly.

I finished school in 1998 with 11 GCSE's and 3 A-Levels. I graduated Southampton Institute's Media and Cultural Studies degree in 2002 and spent 2 years travelling.

I have recently completed and self-published my first novel: The Dr Bumfleece Experiment for an MA Novel Writing degree at Manchester University (June 2006). I have supported Queen's Park Rangers since my first game in April 1988 - ouch!

On top of this, I am currently finishing my second novel - Fiancees and Ski Jackets - a synopsis of which is currently available in the Writing / Novel section.

I am an aspiring author and amateur photographer available for hire as a Wedding/Band/Events photographer or to write articles (see published items in articles section of  Writing)at very reasonable rates. Also check out : www.myspace.com/tomdearden

My interests include: film, music, cartoons, comedy, languages and sports. These include playing: golf, cricket, football, cycling, swimming, snowboarding, kite flying, fishing and ultimate frisbee. I have also raised approximately £1000 for charities with a bungee jump, a sky dive, and walking a marathon in a 40DD bra. I also partake in an annual cricket match that raises £1000 every time for Cancer Research UK.

My short term goal is to get myself a literary agent and start up a weekly adult writing workshop. My dream is to have a novel published, a play staged in the West End, a film script made into a cult film whilst travelling the world - I have travelled to almost 60 countries.

I can be contacted at e-mail: tomdearden@yahoo.co.uk or on +44 7779 579 961. Cheers! x
