About the author

S. L. Thorne (formerly published by DDP under Sandra Leigh) is a resident of Northern Florida, proudly fifty+ 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 currently living in her family home with her husband, her 20+ year old daughter and her beaux, and one very senior feline. 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 ninenovels published with Thornewood Studios (all available on Amazon) on five very different subjects (though three of them are in the same world), and is currently working on more of the Griffon’s Rest series, trying to get the second half of Midnight and Amber ready for publication, as well as correcting a printing error in Mercy's Ransom.

We can workout how to get you the missing chapter!)
