Woo-hoo! I'm excited to share this review of my forthcoming middle grade novel, The AI Incident. Look for the full review on TheMommiesReviews.com. #kidlit #middlegrade

The AI Incident received its first trade review from Kirkus today...

Ironic (but important) to have these images side by side.

Reading is a great way to strengthen your writing muscle. Here's my current "Just read! Currently reading! Can't wait to start!" book list.

I'm having a ton of fun making book trailers! Here's the latest for The AI Incident. Enjoy!

I'm excited to share the cover reveal for The AI Incident. In school visits, I give older students (grades 6-8) a chance to choose between three different versions. Teachers and librarians, contact Levine Querido (levinequerido.com) to ask for an ARC. #MG #ELA #kidlit #teachers

Hello! I'm J.E. Thomas, author of the joyful kidlit books "Control Freaks" (2013) and "The AI Incident" (2025). I hope to connect with kidlit creators, teachers, librarians, booksellers and readers. #kidlit #childrensbooks
