I write as "Jo Thomas" rather than under my full name (Joanne Thomas, which few people call me), so the name you're looking for when you look for my work is "Jo Thomas". Shall I say that again, just to make sure you get the plug? I write as "Jo Thomas". I write speculative fiction - mainly fantasy with a smattering of science fiction and the odd foray into the darker end of the spectrum.

The links for Stand-Alone Projects and the various worlds cover the ideas I've been working on since starting writing (this time around) in March 2007. I also make some stories available through this site, so keep an eye out for them on the Stories page.

Writing Friends is a (currently brief) list of my friends who are also involved in writing while Useful Links are links to market information, critiqueing clubs and various useful things as well as online and hardcopy reads. Contact Me should speak for itself.

In Memoriam is transcriptions and scans of my mum's work.
