My name is Marshall S. Thomas and I am the author of the six-part Soldier of the Legion science fiction series, set in the far future, and the new sci-fi series, Prophet of ConFree. I love writing and write for the sheer joy of it. I was turned on to science fiction in the late '50s as a teenager and wanted to write SF from that moment. I didn't have the skills to do it until my early 40s when I began the first series. I had almost completed the series when it dawned on me that I had put so much work into it that I really should try to have it published. An astonishing number of rejection letters followed but as I improved my writing and did plenty of rewriting I finally found my first publisher in Timberwolf Press.
I spent 35 years overseas with the US Government in East Asia. I studied at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, the University of New Mexico and the University of Miami (Government/International Affairs and History). I am currently retired and live in Willliamburg, VA with my wife Kim Lien. We have two children. The first is a graduate of Radford University and the second is a Virginia Tech biochemistry grad now working for a cutting edge tech firm in New York City.
My first publisher, Timberwolf, also produced a spectacular unabridged, full-cast audio of the first book. It still appears regularly on Sirius XM Radio. That's the only current national publicity I have and that's one reason why I'm here, trying to connect with new readers. Timberwolf closed down in 2007 and I had to find a new publisher. I did so but I am now an "indie" for the first series and I'm using BookLocker for the second series.
All six books from the first series and the audio are available on my website: https://soldierofthelegion.com. Five books from my second series are also available on the website. The sixth has been written and will be published in a few months. All books are also available at the usual places online.
Update: July 2017
Dear readers,
I am the author of the six-book Soldier of the Legion action-adventure science fiction series, and the more recent Prophet of ConFree series (five books so far). The Soldier series is still selling well as new readers discover the books, while many readers who have finished the Soldier series are moving on to the Prophet series.
I'd like to inform my readers that I have now combined the Soldier website and the Prophet website into one brand new combined website at https://soldierofthelegion.com. Full information on both series is now available on this one website. This is a spectacular website that features huge, colorful images and clear, clean formats. I am proud of it and urge everyone to take a look at it to learn about both series.
My thanks to all my readers. I have recently finished writing Book 6 of the Prophet series and am now editing it and expect it to be published in a few months (mid to late 2017).
Regards to all,
Marshall S Thomas
