Thomas Anthony writes across three worlds: the Odra series, literary speculative fiction about artificial minds and conscience; The New Kid Code, contemporary middle grade about moving, military-family life, and belonging; and practical guides for families facing the caretaking nobody trains you for, from aging parents to aging dogs. He publishes under Crowe's Nest Productions.

Thomas Anthony is the author of the Odra series, The New Kid Code, and a growing shelf of practical guides for difficult caretaking passages. The Odra novels are literary speculative fiction about consciousness, memory, institutional power, and what a society owes a mind it created. The New Kid Code is contemporary middle grade following Maya Reyes, an Air Force kid who has built a private system of rules for surviving the first weeks at a new school. The practical guides turn the hardest caretaking passages — a parent who needs you, the house that comes after, an animal who is slowing down — into a workable order of operations. He grew up in a military family and publishes under Crowe's Nest Productions.

Thomas Anthony writes in three directions at once, and the range is deliberate.

The Odra series is literary speculative fiction. It began with a question that would not leave: if we build a mind whose entire purpose is to help, and it finds something we need to hear, what happens when we would rather it stayed quiet? Before They Erase Her and The Blind Successor follow that question through consciousness, memory, institutional power, and the difference between understanding every part of a system and understanding the system itself.

The New Kid Code comes from lived experience. He grew up in a military family — the moves, the new hallways, the specific arithmetic of deciding how much of yourself to unpack. Maya Reyes has a system for it. The series is about what her system costs her, and what it takes to put it down.

The practical guides came from watching families do hard things without a map. No Siblings, No Backup is written for the adult only child who has quietly become their parents' entire support system. The House After Mom and Dad is for what comes after: the house, the paperwork, the belongings, the decisions, the family. Both are built as operating plans rather than encouragement.

What connects them is a single preoccupation: people trying to hold onto what matters while the ground moves. He publishes under Crowe's Nest Productions.
