Shaun M. Thomas

Shaun was born in 1977 in Olympia, WA with a major congenital heart defect. Until his corrective surgery in 1984, he could partake in very little physical activity due to lack of oxygen. This set the stage for him to become an avid reader.

After a short obsession with Forgotten Realms, Stephen King, and Melanie Rawn, he started writing a trilogy in 1994 that was unfortunately shelved due to the academic demands of the I.B. Program, later continuing with those of a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science at Cornell College. It's possible he'll revise the old notes and storyline and complete the series, but his new Phase Cycle currently demands most of his attention. The first book in this series, Rabbit Rue, first appeared on Shaun's publishing site, and was later published by Smashwords for offline reading as an eBook.

Shaun currently lives in the Chicago area with his wife Jennifer, who plans to start Ph.D. work in elementary music education in 2011.
