Thomas Kearnes is a 35-year-old author from East Texas, the son of a U.S. Marshal and secretary. He is an atheist and an Eagle Scout. Despite writing mainly about queer characters, his fiction has appeared in the mainstream venues PANK, Storyglossia, Night Train, SmokeLong Quarterly, The Pedestal, Word Riot, Eclectica, JMWW Journal, Prick of the Spindle, Pindeldyboz, wigleaf, 3 AM Magazine, Thieves Jargon, Underground Voices and elsewhere. His appearances in gay venues run the gamut from the late, great Blithe House Quarterly to the new Gay Flash Fiction. He is a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee and a regular columnist for Flash Fiction Chronicles. He hopes to continue proving that the indie-lit scene is for serious fiction about gay men.
