Thomas was praised for his remarkable ability to build suspense and tension that kept the readers on the edge of their seats. Thomas says that he always dreamed of becoming a writer. While growing up in the small Coffeyville town, he wrote his first story when he was in only first grade. Seeing his interest in writing stories, his parents and teachers encouraged him to continue writing throughout his school days.

Thomas grew up reading horror stories and the genre automatically became his favorite one. After he obtained a degree in Film & English, Thomas immediately packed his bag and moved to Los Angeles. He had a straight mindset of working in the entertainment industry. Subsequently, he worked for different TV networks and spent 20 years of his life in this field. Thomas had never expected to get join kid’s TV, but the exposure has given him great learning experiences. These experiences helped him greatly when he switched over to writing horror novels. Thomas had written the first draft of his debut book around 10 years ago. But, he couldn’t get the right platform to get things going. It was only after he came across the Launch Pad Manuscript Competition that he decided to test his luck. Thomas was surprised to find out that people liked his work very much. His manuscript made it to the top 10 list of the competition and was noticed by Inkshares, which chose to publish it. Since the release of the book, Thomas has received an incredible response.

When Thomas was writing the novel, he drew from his time growing up in his small hometown. He also tried to pay homage to the authors of the horror genre and filmmakers, who have inspired and influenced him as an author. Some of them include Stephen King, Peter Straub, Shirley Jackson, H.P. Lovecraft, John Carpenter, David Lynch, etc. Thomas loves stories that start in a grounded place and then goes on to infect ordinary people’s lives slowly. With his first novel, Thomas hopes to able to contribute to the Gothic tradition of America while telling a kick-ass, entertaining haunted house tale. Thomas thinks that the writing and editing processes of his first book have taught him a lot about his good and bad habits of writing. So, he was very much cautious while working on his second book. The voices of his editors and suggestions of other important people were at the back of his mind during the writing stage of the novel. Overall, Thomas has the same writing process: know his story from beginning to end, find a peaceful place to write, drink too much coffee, and try to finish pages as possible in a day.
