ⓘ About Leslie Thomas
Leslie Thomas is a literature and fiction author that was born in Newport in the United Kingdom. He was born to a wandering Welsh sailor from Newport Gwent. While he was growing up, his father worked in merchant ships and was away most of the time. When he would come home, he was frequently drunk and violent. He ultimately went on the dole and his wife used to collect the cash to ensure he did not drink it before he got home. At some point, he disappeared from home for two years and did not bother to send any word home. When the war broke out, Leslie used to pray that his father’s ship would get sunk. His prayers ultimately came true when his father’s ship was targeted by a torpedo and he died in the subsequent inferno. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Leslie Thomas has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
