T. Thorn Coyle has been arrested at least four times. Buy her a cup of tea or a good whisky and she'll tell you about it.A salty-tongued, tattooed mystic, Thorn is author of the nine book paranormal fantasy series, The Witches of Portland, The Panther Chronicles, an alt-history urban fantasy series, the novel Like Water, and two short story collections. She has also written multiple non-fiction books including Sigil Magic for Writers, Artists & Other Creatives, Kissing the Limitless, and Evolutionary Witchcraft. Thorn's work appears in many anthologies, magazines, and collections.Thorn has taught magical practice in nine countries, on four continents, and in twenty-five states. Her 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 she ended up volunteering at for twenty years.

All of this, along with her activism and her queer nature, informs Thorn's fiction.An interloper to the Pacific Northwest, Thorn joyfully stalks city streets, writes in cafes, and talks to crows, squirrels, and trees.
