Thomas Corrigan is currently a freshman at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts majoring in screenwriting.
Right Now Is Worth It is his second novel following his 2018 coming-of-age, hyper-realistic action debut The Good Life (read a review at Clarion Foreword Review). In the process of authoring a third novel, Thomas has also written an unpublished 70-page post-apocalyptic fictional short story and a full-length fictional action/drama screenplay about an individual's pacifism's morphing into heroism during the Vietnam War.
In his spare time, Thomas is an avid bodybuilder who enjoys playing the piano and has been selected to perform in local talent shows. He is also an Eagle Scout.
“This is very much The Breakfast Club for the 21st Century. What I mean by that is that emotions flow for each of the teens. Their stories are different and not just another teen story. Unique in their issues. The author sparks emotion with his plot and characters.”

“Wow, this story...really hits all the buttons for me...Corrigan writes with such an authentic flair one can easily imagine themselves as part of the story...I highly recommend ‘Right Now is Worth It,’ by Thomas Corrigan for teens and adults...Teens will connect with the journeys of the characters, but this is also an important book for parents to read — it truly is an eye-opening glimpse into what goes on as our young ones come of age.”
Blueink Review
“...themes of teen angst and family dysfunction amidst a social media-obsessed world should strike a chord with many young adults…”
