Will Thomas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Will Thomas (Born 1958 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania) is a novelist who writes a Victorian mystery series featuring Cyrus Barker, a Scottish detective or "private enquiry agent," and his Welsh assistant, Thomas Llewelyn. The Barker/Llewelyn novels are set in the 1880's and often feature historical events, people, and movements. Martial combat is a recurring theme throughout the series. In interviews, Thomas has said that Barker is based on men such as Richard Francis Burton and Edward William Barton-Wright, founder of Bartitsu.
Will Thomas's first novel was nominated for a Barry and a Shamus, and won the 2005 Oklahoma Book Award. He has been featured on the cover of Library Journal.
