Biography
J.E. Thomas spent her early summers stuffing grocery bags with books at the local library, reading feverishly, then repeating the process week after week. So it's not surprising that she thinks books + imagination are the best streaming service around.
J.E. is an award-winning writer with bachelor degrees in Mass Communications and Political Science, and a master's degree in Public Communications. She began writing full-time in 2021. Prior to that, she had a long career in corporate, health care and education communications. She was also an award-winning freelance journalist, earning a Clarion Award for Article Writing from Women in Communications; a Gold Award for Feature Writing from the International Academy of Communications Arts & Sciences; a Silver Award for Writing from the Society of National Association Publications; and a Public Relations Professional of the Year Honor from the Colorado Association of Black Journalists, among others.
CONTROL FREAKS is her first book. She's working on middle grade book #2 and her debut YA novel. Fun fact: She includes the name of at least one of her dogs in every story.
A dedicated fan of teachers and librarians, J.E. believes educators are superheroes. CONTROL FREAKS is dedicated to women who changed her life by recognizing her potential and encouraging her to step out of the crowd, including Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek's original Uhura, and Helen Yeager, her ninth grade English teacher.
