D.B. Thomas

Thomas Hamby, who writes as D B Thomas, was born in Tennessee USA. He is primarily of English and Scottish heritage. He shares his time with his Finnish born spouse between Florida and Finland. He is an actor and a writer.

In 2020, Thomas found himself engaged with an unfinished story. He was well acquainted with Jane Austen’s major novels, but the incomplete Sanditon, which she had put aside after writing only a few chapters shortly before her death, had not been in his lexicon until the Red Planet Pictures television series, Sanditon Season 1, was released in 2019. That series led to his first novel, Sanditon on Reflection, to complete the story as he imagined Jane Austen might have written it. It was published in Italian as Ricordi di Sa
