edit data

R. K. Thorne is the author of over ten novels and novellas, ranging from heroic epic fantasy to romantasy to boisterous space opera.

The key ingredients in her stories are hope, optimism, humor, and fireworks—both the action kind and the kissing kind.

A long-time gamer and dungeon master, she's fueled by her addiction to notebooks and plants. Too much coffee, computer games, and really good books all keep her awake.

R.K. Thorne liked Mary Soon Lee's review of The Curse of Chalion (World of the Five Gods, #1): "This fantasy novel is part of Bujold's "World of the Five Gods" series, but stands well on its own. It had been languishing on my shelves for a couple of years. Two or three times I'd taken it down, read the first few pages, then set it aside. This w" Read more of this review »

R.K.’s Quotes
