Growing up in a military family, Thomas lived all around the U.S., from his birthplace in Camp Lejeune to San Diego. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati and currently lives in Lexington, where he works in physical therapy. Outside of writing, he enjoys hiking, mixed martial arts, and collecting Motown vinyl records.
His passion for reading and writing was sparked by Louis Sachar’s novel Holes, which he read over and over as a kid. A Warrior Still is M.C. Thomas’s debut novel.
