'The bottom line?' the doctor asked.
'Yes.'
'There's nothing we can do.'
Those words plunged Tom, formerly a highly successful businessman, into a nightmare world in which he lost his job, his money and his self-esteem. Yet, eventually, Tom's inner strength wins through and, drawing on the homespun wisdom of his blind Aunt Lil and other memories from his childhood in rural Ireland, he is able to build a new and more meaningful life for himself and his family.
Through Different Eyes is an inspiring tale of triumph over adversity that follows Tom's early commercial success, the agony of his struggle against fate and his overwhelming enthusiasm for the new challenges that the future will bring. Bang! You're dead is a tale of laughter, tears, joy and hope.

About the Author
When he grew up Tom determined to pursue a career in business. Using his own talent and the wisdom gained working in his parents' corner shop, he rose at a very young age to senior positions in a succession of international companies-a route that soon led him to New York. In his mid-30s, spurred on by the constant desire for new challenges, he became a senior partner in a successful London-based financial consultancy practice, through which he held leading positions on the boards of a large number of client companies.
Tom lost his sight in 1991, as a result of a long-forgotten childhood accident. Following a period of rehabilitation, he took an MA in novel writing at the University of Manchester. Today, Tom is policy director for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, the world's largest providers of guide dogs for visually impaired people. Through the guide dogs Tom is able to channel his talent and enthusiasm, not simply into making money as previously, but into something that he considers far more worthwhile-into making a difference to the lives of other people. Tom lives in London.
