From his early teens, Thomas Summerlin was raised by his aunt Vivian and uncle Bernardo, who gave him a gift that changed his life forever: his first Bible. Equipped with the Word of God and surrounded by a strong group of Christians, he grew in his faith. His passion for reading fantasy was awakened after reading The Neverending Story as a kid. There is little Christian fantasy out there, and Thomas hopes to change that. Thomas' time in the Marines taught him the value of putting on the full armor of God. He is a husband and a father to three and writes with the hope his books will inspire the next generation to do all things through Christ who gives them strength.
