Thom Erb is a genre fiction writer exploring all shades of darkness and light and the varying definitions of heroism. Refusing to pigeonhole his writing, Thomas strives to craft tales that blur the lines of horror, fantasy, thriller, weird western, science fiction, etc, for both adult and young adult audiences.

Until recently, he's focused his work mainly on short stories, but now is adventuring into the realm of long fiction.


His first novella, Tones of Home is available now through Crowded Quarantine Press (UK) and here are what a few authors had to say about the work:

"With TONES OF HOME Thomas A. Erb takes us home for some deeply disturbing holidays. Chilling and full of bizarre twists. Thumbs up."

But, as time went on and I learned my process of writing, I've come to not believe in it so much. It's just part of the writing process where you just have to work through it. I just keep writing. I don't care it it's coming out as the worst drivel anyone has insulted a piece of paper with. As longs as I keep writing the words, at some point, they start to make sense and become not-so-craptastic.

I also agree with Joe Lansdale, who states that writer's block is just the author being lazy. Just do the work.

Just keep writing. It'll all work ou in the end. (less)

I love being able to get paid for creating whole new worlds and people everyday. And, I do so with a wide smile on my face with every word put down.

Don't get me wrong, there are some frustrating times like getting stumped in the middle of book, but the magic of that, is the wonderful moment or epiphany hits you and you crawl over that block and it's one of the best feelings as a writer.

A bad day as a writer is a heck of a lot better than the best day I ever had working at a battery factory. (less)
