About the Author

Thomas Sullivan lives in Seattle and became long term unemployed well before it was widely popular. His writing has appeared in Word Riot, 3AM Magazine, Dogmatika, and The Externalist, among others.

Thomas is a long time teacher well acquainted with the murky and lightly regulated world of private vocational education. Following graduation from Washington State University he worked as an instructor for a company in Seattle teaching software to adults in retraining. This company blew apart fabulously following a Mommie Dearest style standoff between the mother/daughter ownership team. Thomas’s next educational company was shut down following a federal investigation into student loan fraud and a class action lawsuit by former students and teachers.

Those companies you see on the evening news, the ones where students and faculty show up one day to find a hand-written note on the door, just above the padlocks? Thomas has been there and done that and lived to tell the tale one last time in Life In The Slow Lane. Life In The Slow Lane is also currently in production as an audiobook from Cool Beat Audiobooks. Look for it sometime in early 2011.
