Thomas grew up in a quaint small town in Illinois called Georgetown, which had one stoplight, one high school, one square, one lake, one police car and one hundred ways to get into trouble. It was a wonderful place to be a child. In his teens, he picked up a guitar and started playing in local rock bands while holding down a day job.
He studied at the University of Illinois and continued his interest in writing music, even though the signs were there that this was not his true calling.
His love for music led him to move to Southern California with his wife and daughters to work in the music industry. There he's had a successful career in the Film & TV Music Licensing field with Warner Bros., Universal and the Walt Disney Company.
After the birth of his triplet daughters, Lopinski gave up playing out and focused on literature after joining a writer's group made up of his peers in the music industry. In 2012, he self-published his first novel, "Document 512," which won recognition and awards from Reader Views, Foreword Review, National Indie Excellence Awards and Best Indie Books.
His second novel "The Art of Raising Hell" was published through Dark Alley Press in 2015 and won Best Young Adult Novel of 2015 through Best Indie Books and was a semi-finalist for Best Literary Novel of 2015 through Kindle Book Awards. Thomas is also a member of the Independent Writers of Southern California (IWOSC).

"There are some people that walk around on two feet and others like me that run on all four."
To most people, that's a bold statement. I just wish I'd been the one to say it, but I wasn't. In fact, until a few days ago, I wasn't even sure what it meant.
Either you're the type of person who lives within a set of boundaries or the type who knows none.
But life is never that simple, is it?
No, I'd say that the most important insights about who we are, what we say, and why we do things are not always the obvious ones. Instead, they're discovered on the streets of your hometown, revealed late at night in a dark backroom, or sometimes forced upon you at knifepoint where your only choices for survival are between bad and worse.
In The Art of Raising Hell, Newbie Johnson has recently moved to Bunsen Creek, Illinois, when his mother is killed in a tragic car crash. His father does his best to maintain a normal household, but his broken heart is just not up to the task.
Newbie finds solace by hanging out with his three buddies in their clandestine Backroom hideout. Getting into mischief becomes their favorite pastime as they try to follow in the footsteps of Lonny Nack, who has perfected the art of running on all four.
Lonny fears no one, including The Law, and soon takes his peculiar sense of justice, along with his love of practical jokes, to new heights while entertaining the colorful characters of Kickapoo County.
"Running on all four" takes on a new meaning for Newbie when he finds his inner voice and begins to understand the difference between chasing life and being chased by it.
