About the Author
William Alan Thomas took a BA in English at the U. of Chicago in the 1960's, and his first novel, Daddy's Darling Daughter, was published in 1974. Life was to sweep him far from the world of books, as he fell in love with the seafood business, ran an old fish boat and then became a Vancouver longshoreman. Presently a full-time writer living in Chilliwack, B.C., he remains deeply involved with Return of the Convict, as there's to be a prequel and two sequels.
