Thad Beaumont is a [[Most Writers Are Writers|novelist]] who writes thrillers under the pseudonym of George Stark.

* [[Arc Words]]: "The sparrows are flying again."

* [[Author Avatar]]: Thad Beaumont, to an extent. Stephen King has written (and still does, occasionally) under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman, and he treats Bachman like a separate person, even giving him a separate biography in Bachman novels. He wrote ''The Dark Half'' partly to explore that idea in a literal sense.
