Thomas currently resides in Brooklyn, NY, where she was born and raised. She has written fiction as a student at The Institute for Children’s Literature and was a contributor for FlawlessMagazine. Her work as a poet, freelancer, and blogger has led her toward mystery and fiction writing, targeting anyone from young adult to adults—or as she puts it, “anyone who can learn a lesson”, for each story brings about lessons of gaining from pain, finding lost strength, humility, confidence and courage, but most of all…self. When asked what inspires her, she confesses, “I’m just the puppet; I mostly write what my nightmares tell me to write. She also notes that she brings her characters to life by using not only her nightmares, but her “weird and unbelievable” life experiences.
She has published her first book, The Black Stone, last year and is currently working on her next one, “The four elders” to be released soon this year!view less
