Thomas D. Pagsisihan writes across science fiction, fantasy, memoir, and children’s literature. His books explore what it means to keep going, ask difficult questions, and discover something unexpected about the world—and ourselves.
His personal story is at the heart of Rise from the Rubble and No Address, No Limits. Drawing on a journey through a difficult childhood and homelessness to business leadership, these books explore resilience, discipline, and the work of building a different future.
In Ark of the Custodians, Thomas brings ancient history, faith, and extraterrestrial contact into a shared science-fiction universe. The story expands through The Mirror War, the prequel The Last Ocean, and the companion Tales from Project Ark. His fantasy novel The Crown Comes Due opens another world, where the price of magic is measured in years of human life.
For young readers, Thomas turns curiosity into adventure. From the kindness of Spark-E to the surprising discoveries in his animal picture books, these stories offer families a chance to laugh, wonder, and talk together. His guided journals make space for a different storyteller: the reader, preserving memories in their own words.
Across the Happy Teacher Publishing bookshelf, his work returns to a common thread: there is always more to discover, and every story can open a new conversation.
