Mark Lawton Thomas was born in Savannah , Georgia. After graduating from the University of Georgia, Mr. Thomas worked as a copy writer for various advertising agencies first in Atlanta, and then in Manhattan. Eventually, he returned to the South and began writing a weekly column for Creative Loafing and voicing them for Georgia Public Radio. Somehow he found time to edit Contents magazine, an award-winning quarterly, as well.
Presently, Mr. Thomas is involved in his most challenging job to date: …teaching 6th grade Language Arts in Atlanta. When he isn'’t teaching his little heart out, grading essays with his trusty, red Sharpie, or working on his next book, Mr. Thomas can be found fast asleep on a couch somewhere in Buckhead.
