About the Book
"Reflections of a Gypsy" is my attempt to share the important events of my life with my family and friends. This book covers the most important life-changing events I have experienced and have shaped who I am today. Much of the book covers what I have learned from my mother and father, not by what they said, but by what they did.
My early years were spent riding and showing hunting and jumping horses. During this time my relationships were mostly with the horses who became my important friends. After showing horses as a junior rider, I decided to get involved with people and politics. I carry this passion with me today and share some of what I think is important.
This book is my best attempt to share my life and my secrets with affection. The book is divided into four sections: Poems from a Gypsy; Family Memories; Reflections of a Gypsy; and Friends I Hope to See in Heaven.
Writing this book has also given me a chance to reflect on my life-changing experiences and learn from them. I hope sharing my insights and growth will be meaningful to you.

What People are Saying
I have become a loyal fan of Tom since the time I read the poem book "My warrior to gypsy" which is an endless source of inspiration. And Tom has never let me down with his 2nd gypsy book: "The reflection of Gypsy". The poems are written in Covid Pandemic so it truly brings us another view of Gypsy about life, when people need to face the threat of death, they have the urge to live and remember the core value to stay strong and live a meaningful life. What I could feel from the book is the life experience of a wise man to encourage us “to live in hope or die in despair" every day. Love the book and do enjoy the reading!

The reader feels the feelings of the writer. Very touching memories and the wisdom of a person that traveled the world and had lived in different countries. I totally recommend reading it!!!
- Klelia
Written with courage and the result of years of reflection. A chronicle of experience thought and aging. The author shares a life’s journey with an openness of heart. An experience in moments of life – pain and joy.
- B. Payne
The author is very honest in his poems and in describing how all his experiences have impacted him. I loved all the poems. My favorites were Family Secrets, Learning to be a Mechanic, and College Dreams and Disappointments.

There's nobody better at expressing emotions and experiences than Tom. While I was reading the book, word by word, it felt like it was my time to undergo the very same experiences Tom was able to accumulate in his life. This book will inspire you to get more out of life!
