Tom Diamond has lived most of his life in far west Texas and southern New Mexico. With a strong interest in the history of this beautiful, wild country he has worked to help native American redress the injustice inflicted upon them.

Tom's first novel, Rimfire, was published in 2004. It tells the story of white men living in the 1800's New Mexican West with Apaches, the US Calvary, saloon gals, sheriffs, and villains. Now Tom brings us Apache Tears from the same era in the same part of New Mexico Territory.  This time we hear the story of the Apache people and their struggles against the inevitable destruction of their way of life by the hated "white eyes". Tom tells the story of Lozen, her "Star Power" and the influence she had on the tribe leaders Geronimo and Nana.
