,

Featured Author: Thomas E. Brown

Author of Crossing Bridges
Public Servant | Leader | Legacy Builder

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a native inner-city Atlantan and a product of the Atlanta Public School System. My entire professional career has been dedicated to the public safety of the people of Atlanta and DeKalb County, Georgia. I am also the proud father of two successful adult children and the grandfather of five grandchildren.

What inspired you to become a writer?

I have no desire to become a writer. I only wanted to write my autobiography to leave a legacy for those in my bloodline—to share my story.

Can you share what your latest book is about?

Crossing Bridges is about my rich legacy as a descendant of free people of color who came to America in the 1700s. It tells the story of my parents and siblings, how our life together shaped me as a young man, and most importantly, my professional life—the bridges I crossed, what I learned about leadership, and how those lessons shaped my experiences while making public safety decisions.

What message do you hope readers take away from your work?

Never give up.

Where can readers find your work and follow your journey?

My book is available on Amazon and directly from me.
