Tom Albright

Author

Born in Northern New Jersey, Tom Albright invites us to sit next to him in his front seat to the greatest show ever attempted - the evolution of the human race. Tom has spent the entirety of his career working in journalism media of all kinds, working stories that have twists, turns and surprises. In his professional career he has worked with celebrities, power brokers, politicians and captains of industry. He has seen more of the world behind the curtain than the average person.

Tom writes characters like Clark Westfield to navigate the truths he discovers in real life, many of which are stranger than any fiction he could imagine and raise troubling questions. 

These questions are the reason Tom Albright never sleeps. The answers are in the investigative stories that Clark and his team help this author understand.

Tom is inspired by real life events and experiences that were disruptive in the idyllic suburban town where he grew up.  The topics in the Adventures of Clark Westfield are those that shaped his life - inexplicable violent crime, the opioid crisis, climate change, gene therapy, and sanctioned protection of predator clergy. In each of these adventures, institutional corruption, indifference to suffering, abuse of power and revisionist history are undercurrents of Clark’s journey much as they are for all of us in real life.

Tom is an eternal student of the human condition, observing friends, family and loved ones meet the challenges and joys of relationships, parenting, adolescence, and human bonds. Tom loves animals and has two legged, four legged and no-legged pets.

Clark Westfield and his adventures are the author’s attempt to observe, explain and come to terms with various dimensions of the human spirit and the surprises our world brings.  Both the author and his characters are concerned about the problems of the world and Tom hopes that by inviting you along into exciting adventures like Clark Westfield’s reporting job, that you will be motivated to solve those problems also.
