About me

Gender	Male
Location	Dallas, Texas
Introduction	Twitter: @LemThomas. I am an environmental lawyer who also writes fiction. My novel CHINA ISLAND, a paranormal thriller, is complete at 102K words. It's about a big city lawyer, Geoff Waltz, who is thrust into the investigation of a lynching on a remote bayou. The victim worked for him, and, the deeper he digs, the more he comes to realize that the murder is just a piece of a much larger conspiracy involving a secret Area 51 type facility. Oh, and his client's 11-year-old grandson (who may or may not be human) is the lynch pin of this conspiracy.
