Tom Knapp: graphic novels

Tom Knapp is the founder, editor, publisher, designer, dishwasher, investor, dog groomer and chief writer for Rambles.NET. A freelance writer and editor, he was a newspaper reporter in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, for more than 35 years. He also amuses himself playing Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton folk tunes on his fiddle, bodhran, CD player and car stereo. Determined to share his music in as many ways as he can possibly imagine, he formed Fire in the Glen, a regionally prominent Irish traditional/Celtic eclectic trio with five CDs and a varied performance schedule under its collective belt. Having worked with several partners in the past -- John Varner, Chet Williamson, Jason Mundok, Aaron Gagne, Michael Filippo, Durelle Leaman, Dave Pedrick, Melissa Brun and Mick & Megan Mullen -- Tom now is happily performing with Amanda Wells and Rod Nevin.

Tom is married to the amazing Michelle and is the father of two grown children, Vinnie and Molly, and the young twins Wolf and Annabelle. He also shares his home with dogs Charley and Finnegan. (Morgan, Tom's beloved canine companion for more than 15 years, his dogs Casey, Ronan and Gracie, and his cats Puck and Marlowe are now waiting for him on the other side.)

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 (re)invade. Although he is well-versed in several brands of computer, he is a proudly devoted Mac head.
