About the Author
Thomas was born in 1973 and grew up in Lowestoft, Suffolk before moving to Cheshire to study a degree in Creative Arts. Having worked as an electronic production editor for science and academic publishers in Oxford, he now works as a Web and Digital Media Officer for a top modern university. He lives in Oxfordshire with his wife Emma and their seven cats, four chickens and two bunnies.
He’s different. He’s not your usual person. Lots of people can say that about themselves but with Thomas it’s true. Just ask his wife! He only discovered how different in the last ten years when he discovered that he has Asperger’s Syndrome, which is on the mild end of the autism spectrum. In subtle, subconscious ways it affects his writing. For someone who is, on occasion, somewhat clueless and inept in social situations, he has been praised on his dialogue. As a person he also have difficulty reading visual cues and body-language and consequently his editors often tell me he’s telling too much when I should be showing. Show not tell they say and I have to really work hard to achieve that!
