Thomas Curran

Thomas Curran is an author, chef, and one of the few people crazy enough to walk more than 3,200 miles across America, ocean to ocean.

Before turning to fiction, he spent nearly three decades leading fine dining restaurants and multi-unit culinary operations across the United States.

His first novel, Death, Discovery and Carne Asada, blended a fictional tale of murder, love, and revenge with his real-life walk across America and became an Amazon bestseller in multiple categories.

His newest novel, Dime Store Hitman, launches a darkly comic crime trilogy following Eddie “The Cowboy” DelDuco, a low-budget Los Angeles hitman with a talent for bad decisions, questionable judgment, and clearance-bin murder weapons.

When he’s not writing, Thomas is the co-owner and COO of The Hood Kitchen Space in Southern California, where he helps food entrepreneurs bring products to life through commercial kitchens and small-batch co-manufacturing.

He believes the best stories come from uncomfortable roads, overheard conversations, and people who absolutely should not trust each other.
