THOMAS SMITH
"Thomas is one of those outstanding Southern writers – seemingly soft, languid, maybe even lazy, when actually what he is, is
cotton wrapped about a razor. Half the time you don't even know he's gotten you until it's too late."
– USA Today and NY Times Bestselling author, Charles L. Grant
Coming Soon...
Another collection of haunted sites and restless spirits in the Spooky America series. Who knew writing children's books could be so much fun!!
There are a lot of stories out there...
and I come from people who are storytellers. I have told stories all my life. In fact, I have wanted to be a writer since the day Mrs. Cox put my Christmas story on the bulletin board when I was in the third grade (the elementary school equivalent of The Pulitzer Prize, but without the nice check). Since then I have written about ghosts, clowns, vampires, haunted houses, spaceships, magicians, baseball, jazz, Christmas, flawed people who persevere, and villains who ultimately fail. And I'm just getting started.
Oh yeah...it's probably best if you don't ask why that mausoleum door in the picture is chained.
Great review of my story by Danielle Yvonne:
BAD PLACE ALONE
By Thomas Smith
“Ladies and gentlemen,” their host said, “I brought you all here under false pretenses. In short, I lied.” He stopped to let his words sink in. “And thanks to your guilt and greed, it was really very easy. So, let us start over, beginning with the introductions."
Phenomenal story. Really had me in a chokehold straight from the beginning, and it didn’t let go until the end. Loved everything about this one. The greed. The gluttony. The imagery and tone. Superbly well-rounded from start to finish. I will absolutely be checking out more of Smith’s writing.
