742: After Addiction and Recovery, Writing Saved His Life

Thomas M. Hewlett grew up in Los Angeles reading science fiction, fantasy, and all things paranormal. His plan was always to be a writer, but he strayed from the path and into drugs and alcohol addiction. In 2011 he hit rock bottom and ended up in rehab. He rediscovered the power of writing and started his first novel; "One Death at a Time." Writing saved Thomas's life and became his way of telling a new story about himself.
