Refusing to pigeonhole his writing, hybrid author, Thom Erb–Author of The Last in Line, Heaven-Hell-Houston, Tones of Home, Dark Gardens, loves to explore varying concepts and definitions of heroism. He crafts gripping, fast-paced tales that ignore genres; only seeking to tell the story that needs to be told.
Thom is also an illustrator of murals, graphic novels, book covers, and beyond. When not writing, Thom digs reading, music, Dungeons, and Dragons, playing drums, quality TV. Shows and films. And rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, NY Yankees, and the Texas Rangers. He lives in western New York with his duo of hellcats, Houey, and Maggie.
