edit data

Thomas E. Staples is a University student currently studying Creative Writing. With a love of both horror and comedy, they often smash the genres together very irresponsibly to see what happens. They have published multiple short stories since 2015, started writing books, too, apparently, and find talking about themselves in the third-person incredibly awkward.

The Case of the Giant Carnivorous Worm is their debut novel.

They can be reached on Twitter - @MrTEStaples.
