S.L. Thorne is a resident of Northern Florida, mid-forties and highly creative. She’s been
telling stories since she could talk (which was fairly early) and writing them down as
soon as she learned to write, often regaling her friends for hours after school with tales
she’d make up. She is raising a teen daughter in her family home with her boyfriend of
several years along with a pair of cats and a duet of dogs. An occasionally decent artist,
she often paints or renders her own covers. Fans of her novels tend to be rabid about
them, often pushing her into publishing books she otherwise would have kept to herself.

 

She prefers historical settings to modern ones and is a stickler for historical accuracy;
often doing exhaustive research during the course of novel writing in order to present a
believable, enduring world where things make real world sense along side the magical and
the invented. She often refers to herself as ‘a professional liar’ instead of ‘an author’,
as she is in ‘the business of weaving a fantastic, unbelievable lie and presenting it in
such a way that, at least within the confines of the pages, the reader wants to believe it
is the truth.’



As a famous ancient author once said: The secret to telling a good lie is to include just
enough truth to make it believable.





She has three novels published with Double Dragon Publications on three very different
subjects and is currently working on more of the Griffon’s Rest series, as well as a YA
novel.
