Thomas K. Shor was born in 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts. His first modest foray into higher elevations occurred when he went north to attend college in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where he studied comparative religion, philosophy, and mythology.
An inveterate traveler and lover of mountains and their peoples, Thomas K. Shor has lived high in the planet's mountainous realms in such places as Chiapas in southern Mexico, Greece, and the Indian Himalayas. It is there - above 7,000 feet - that he feels most at home, collecting and writing stories.
In the words of Kathleen Raine, renowned and decorated late British poetess, "Thomas K. Shor's story reminds us that we are, or could be, travelers in a world of marvels, of love, and encounters with men and women themselves on pilgrimages of the imagination."
