Thorne, T. K.: - T. K. Thorne's childhood passion for storytelling deepened when she became a police officer in Birmingham, Alabama. It was a crash course in life and what motivated and mattered to people. In her newest novels, House of Rose and House of Stone, murder and mayhem mix with a little magic when a police officer discovers she's a witch. Both her award-winning debut historical novels, Noah's Wife and Angels at the Gate, tell the stories of unknown women in famous biblical tales-the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. Her first non-fiction book, Last Chance for Justice, the inside story of the investigation and trials of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, was featured on the New York Post's Books You Should Be Reading list. Her newest nonfiction is Behind the Magic Curtain: Secrets, Spies, and Unsung White Allies of Birmingham's Civil Rights Days. T. K. loves traveling and speaking about her books and life lessons. She writes at her mountaintop home with a horse in the back yard and a cat and dog vying for her lap.
