Andrew J. Thomas is a father, a husband, and a poet. He lives in Vacaville with his wife, a dog, and until recently, two teenage sons. He adamantly supports the use of serial commas. He has no classic training in the art of the written word, other than years of heart break and a love of whiskey. He is a founding member of the Beast Crawl Literary Festival and enjoys participating and supporting literary events in the Bay Area. His first collection of poetry, Strangeland, was published by Naked Bulb Press.
