Thomas always wanted to be writer but, for a long time, was too dumb to do anything about it. He turned away from a career in academia because, well, have you read the writing? You have to write boring things and that wasn’t going to fly.

He is currently writing a seafaring trilogy and a separate fantasy novel, with plans for many more books. He writes nonfiction about tea, and fiction on history, magic, character driven humour and feminist themes. Thomas’ goal is to find an agent and publisher for his books. Then he’ll get paid for his books, allowing him to write more books. This will go on until he dies. Maybe afterwards, too.
