Rob Thomas started out writing young adult novels in the late 1990s. Rats Saw God (1996) was his first book, followed by Slave Day, Satellite Down, and Green Thumb in quick succession. He also edited the short story collection Doing Time (1997), which featured contributions from multiple YA authors.
Thomas is probably best known today as the creator of the TV show Veronica Mars, and he carried that property into two novels: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line (2014) and Mr. Kiss and Tell (2015). Neptune Noir (2007) is a companion essay collection about the show. His catalog also includes the novelization Drive Me Crazy (1999). Altogether, his nine books span nearly two decades and reflect his shift from YA fiction into the Veronica Mars universe.
