Tom Managhan has practiced as a clinical psychologist for over thirty years, and has served in various jurisdictions as Chief Psychologist and Clinical Director for the past twenty years. His appreciation for personalities prompted him to invent the board game, Psychologizer, the rights to which he eventually sold to a major Canadian game and toy company. Tom and his wife Carol have made their permanent home near Sudbury, Ontario, where he divides his time between private practice, writing, and appreciating nature. The Bottle Collector is his first novel.
