Edwin Thomas is a pen name of Tom Harper who was born in West Germany in 1977 and grew up in Germany, Belgium and America. He studied history at Lincoln College, Oxford, and worked for a while in the pensions service. He now writes full time, living in York with his family.
He wrote a series titled ‘The Reluctant Adventures of Martin Jerrold' which has a principal character with quite a few faults. The authors website indicates that the series was abandoned by the publisher so there will presumably be no more books in the series
