Tom Vick Guide

Allow me to introduce you to Thieves Anonymous, an adult heist thriller with recovery at its heart.

Frank Marlow a master burglar hits rock bottom and joins his mentor in a 12 step recovery group for thieves.

His mentor is arrested by FBI for a heist he didn’t commit. When Frank makes a deal with fed to nab a Wall Street crook hiding amongst the elite, he must face his inner thief and rely on his recovery to bring him in.

As the case begins to turn towards a heist being the only solution, Frank must choose to embrace his inner thief or rely on his higher power for a solution to the insanity.

Thieves Anonymous is 80k words. Written from my days in the financial sector and inspired by the recovery work of groups like AA and ACA, I hope this work finds the right people to get a story of hope and redemption into the hands of readers struggling with their own inner thieves.

A day in the life of your local Philly writer.

Thrillerfest was an absolute joy to be apart of.
I got to sit with authors in their brand new Connectfest and get feedback on my current book, my strategies, and plans. But what I really got out of this con was confirmation that I’m in the right direction and that I need to keep writing and querying.

This is on the left and on the right. I met Hank at Connectfest and Steve I’ve known for 15 years. Both are masters of the craft and I’d recommend you read both of their works and if you get a chance go to one of their writing retreats.

Happy Valentine’s Day. I hope you’re reading something that inspires love in your life. Maybe a good book is all we need this morning and a slice of heaven and sip of decadence and…I’ll let you finish the rest.

Welcome to my writing world! My name is Thomas Vick, a debut author currently seeking representation for my Urban Romantasy Novel, An Unveiling of Ice and Sift.

Elves come to the Human District to feel mortal.
Some of them don’t make it back.

When a designer drug called Deathbringer strips elves of their immortality, highborn thrill-seekers flood the city below, chasing pain, pleasure, and consequences they’ve never had to face. Soon, their bodies start turning up in the streets.

Emery Nyrawnia knows exactly why.

A former Watch operative and once an ice-wielding immortal, Emery helped test the drug before disappearing into the shadows. Now she runs covert operations against corrupt elvish elites—until the murders drag her back into a war she thought she’d left behind.

To finish the fight, Emery makes the one choice no immortal should: she gives up her magic, her immortality, and the mental armor that kept her alive.

Mortal. Hunted. Exposed.

As power structures collapse and class violence ignites, Emery must decide whether breaking an unjust system is worth becoming collateral damage.

An Unveiling of Ice and Sift is a dark urban fantasy about addiction, power, and the cost of choosing humanity.

As soon as I finish Addie LaRue, these will be my next enjoyment reads. Already loving Murakami. Why am I reading these? I’m planning a trip to Tokyo this summer!

Little late but always welcome. It’s how I feel about books I never go to when they just came out. When I never got a chance to hit the wave of obsession. Now they’re like buried gems, unearthed to be looked at and marveled alone. Without all the pressure to finish so it won’t be spoiled.
