J. Tomas is a pseudonym, I'll admit it up front. I write gay fiction for adults under a different name, and am using this one for my stories that are suitable for teens. Contact me at jtomas@j-tomas.net.

So who am I? A writer, a reader, a poet. A video game nerd ~ I heart Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, and Legend of Zelda. A cat owner. A movie goer, music lover, boyband groupie. A queer author who remembers all too well the pains of high school, first love, and how it felt to ride the school bus when all the "cool" kids had their own car. Who knows what it's like to be different in a school of clones, to feel different, look different, act different.

Who wants to put those feelings down on paper so others know they aren't alone.

More specifically, I live in Virginia with two very spoiled cats. I have a day job that's not too bad, and I've always wanted to be a writer, so I write.

Some of my favorite YA authors and books are:
