About Pegg Thomas

Pegg Thomas lives in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with Michael, her husband of *mumble* years. She creates American stories with real history and fictional characters inspired by her ancestors, who immigrated here in the mid-1600s.

Pegg won the 2019 FHL Readers’ Choice Award for novellas, was a double finalist for the 2019 ACFW Carol Award for novellas, and a finalist for the 2019 ACFW Editor of the Year. She took 3rd place in the 2021 FHL Readers’ Choice Award for novellas. Pegg won the 2022 Selah Award for historical romance and placed 2nd with her second entry. She was also a finalist for the 2023 Selah Award, placed 2nd for the 2024 Selah Award, and won two 2024 Will Rogers Medallion Awards.

Pegg spent 3 ½ years as the managing editor of Smitten Historical Romance before working as a freelance editor and then retiring (mostly) from editing in 2024.

When not writing or editing, Pegg can be found in her garden, her kitchen, or sitting at one of her spinning wheels creating yarn to turn into her signature wool shawls.
