“Jim Thomas is the gold standard of editors. His sensitivity to story, theme, character, and divining an author’s intent is uncanny. His understanding of the castle politics of publishing and the vagaries of the marketplace are second to none. He possesses the requisite skills of a midwife, and the bedside manner of a beloved small town doctor. I can’t envision the project that wouldn’t benefit from his discerning eye, I can’t imagine the writer whose life would not be enriched by his presence in it.”

—Mark Frost, New York Times bestselling author of The Paladin Prophecy, and co-creator of the TV show Twin Peaks
