Tom Knapp: books

Tom Knapp is the founder, editor, publisher, designer, dishwasher, dog groomer and chief writer for Rambles. He is also a newspaper reporter and freelance writer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he amuses himself playing Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton folk tunes on his fiddle, bodhran, CD player and car stereo. Determined to share (or inflict, depending who you ask) his music in as many ways as he can possibly imagine, he joined forces with author Chet Williamson to form Fire in the Glen, a regionally prominent Irish traditional/Celtic eclectic duo with two CDs and a varied performance schedule under their belts.

A wild Celt by nature (and proudly eccentric), Tom collects swords and other sharp, pre-gunpowder implements of destruction, which he stockpiles against the day the Romans, Saxons or Normans decide to (re)invade. He shares his house with a dog, Morgan; two cats, Puck and Marlowe; a nameless ghost who mostly just lurks in the upstairs hallway; and a very unusual sense of interior design. Although he is well-versed in several brands of computer, he is a proudly devoted Mac head.

His personal website includes photos from Ireland, Scotland, England and Norway, plus Cape Breton in Canada, Walden Pond in the U.S. and Cancun in Mexico; a substantial collection of quotes from famous and esoteric sources; and a wide array of links. He can be reached via e-mail at rhymer@rambles.net.

Editing and publishing Rambles each week keeps Tom plenty busy, but he hasn't let that interfere with his writing. (Yet!) You can see lists of Tom's reviews, interviews and essays by clicking on the menu selections below. Thanks for visiting!
