Thom Reese is the author of thirteen traditionally published novels and was the sole writer and co-producer of the weekly audio drama radio program, 21st Century Audio Theatre, many of which have since been released on MP3 and CD formats. Thom is a multi-genre author spanning genres such as thriller, science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural. He is an active member of the International Thriller Writers and was a staff writer/editor for the now-defunct website Stockup.com writing articles on a wide range of topics.

In addition, Thom worked in market research at CBS Broadcasting for over twenty years, has an extensive public speaking background, and trained in comedy writing and improvisation at the famed Second City. And because why not, he also plays guitar and bass.

Charleston while mostly avoiding the Las Vegas Strip. Their dog Pepper enjoys playing in the snow.
