Rachel K. Thorne

Rachel K. Thorne writes slow burn dystopian romantasy about gaining back your own power, forming your identity, and standing up against systems that are designed to break you. Drawing on experiences that blur the line between fantasy and reality, she weaves in her love of culture, food, and complex systems that push the line between control and choice. Rachel is inspired by myths found in the faraway places she has traveled to.

Professionally, Rachel enjoys working with special needs students and families. Their resilience and persistence during heavy challenges inspires her daily.

When Rachel is not writing, she finds inspiration in quiet mornings on the patio, oil painting, playing with her dog, hiking in the red rocks of the southwest desert, and dabbling in stories that refuse to stay calm.
