Meet Thorn
T. Thorn Coyle (they/them) worked in many strange and diverse occupations before settling in to write full time. Author of the Seashell Cove Paranormal Mystery series, the Pride Street Paranormal Cozy Mysteries, The Steel Clan Saga, The Witches of Portland, The Mouse Thief Capers, and The Panther Chronicles, Thorn’s multiple non-fiction books include You Are the Spell, Sigil Magic for Writers, Artists & Other Creatives, Kissing the Limitless, and Make Magic of Your Life. A revised, 20thAnniversary edition of Evolutionary Witchcraft is planned for fall of 2025.
Thorn has taught magical practice in nine countries, on four continents, and in twenty-five states. Their other occupations have been numerous, and include working four years each on the Pacific Stock Options exchange (as a young Anarchist punk with a blue, flat-top Mohawk), in a woman-run peep show, and full time in the San Francisco soup kitchen they ended up volunteering at for twenty years. All of this, along with a dedication to social justice, informs Thorn’s fiction.
​
A queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent mystic with a chronic illness, Thorn also lives with the aftereffects of a brain injury. They are a former professional dancer, wrote and co-produced four music albums, and loves amateur photography. An interloper to the Pacific Northwest, Thorn joyfully stalks city streets, and talks to crows, squirrels, and trees.
