Tom Bentley

Author

Tom Bentley lives in the hinterlands of Watsonville, California, surrounded by strawberry fields and the occasional Airstream. He has run a writing and editing business out of his home for more than 10 years, giving him ample time to vacuum. He’s published over 250 freelance pieces—ranging from first-person essays to travel pieces to more journalistic subjects. He is a published fiction writer, and was the 1999 winner of the National Steinbeck Center’s short story contest. See his writing-related blog here. His new collection of short stories, FLOWERING, AND OTHER STORIES is now available.
