Jodi Thomas
A fifth-generation Texan, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Jodi Thomas chooses to set the majority of her novels in her home state, where her grandmother was born in a covered wagon. A former teacher, Thomas traces the beginning of her storytelling career to the days when her twin sisters were young and impressionable.
With a degree in family studies, Thomas is a marriage and family counselor by education, a background that enables her to write about family dynamics. Honored in 2002 as a Distinguished Alumni by Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Thomas enjoys interacting with students on the West Texas A&M University campus, where she served as Writer in Residence.
Commenting on her contribution to the arts, Thomas said, "When I was teaching classes full-time, I thought I was making the world a better place. Now I think of a teacher or nurse or mother settling back and relaxing with one of my books. I want to take her away on an adventure that will entertain her. Maybe, in a small way, I'm still making the world a better place."
When not working on a novel, Thomas enjoys traveling with her husband, renovating a historic home they bought in Amarillo and checking up on their two grown sons.
It was a dark and stormy night…

WILD HORSE SPRINGS by Jodi Thomas
Stories come to me in pieces, kind of like a puzzle I find in a box without a picture on the outside of what the finished product will look like. WILD HORSE SPRINGS came to me like that. I wasn’t writing one story, but several that would merge at a crossroads that would change all… Read More

OPPOSITES CAN BE A PERFECT FIT
When I began the Ransom Canyon series, I knew SUNRISE CROSSING would be Yancy’s story. So when I started writing, he was already whispering his story in my ear. Yancy Grey was little more than a kid when he went to prison for a robbery and five years later, when he’s free, he heads to… Read More
