Thomas spent four years restoring a 1914 UVX miner’s home in the historic mining town of Jerome. Inspired by the wildlife of Cleopatra Hill, he created Rusty the Ringtail, marking a milestone as the first children’s book about Jerome, Arizona, and the first to feature the state’s official mammal in a historical context. ​Rusty is currently in contention for the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards, IPPY (Independent Publisher Book Awards), Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Purple Dragonfly Book Awards, Readers’ Favorite International, National Indie Excellence Awards.
