T. Thorn Coyle they/them

The cover of Good Neighbors: The Full Collection shows a gentleman and lady in late Victorian clothes facing off from either side of a sinister castle in front of a full moon, with metal gears working underneath the title, cobwebs interspersed amongst the title letters, a crow sitting on one letter, and bats flying in the distance. Above and beside the cover is this text: My shoulders slumped. “Your duel really has to be fought at a ball?” “That’s necromancers for you,” Leander sighed. “Terrible show-offs, most of them.” He brushed a speck off his pristine white shirt with one long, fastidious finger. “Quite,” I agreed, meaningfully.

This week's Sunday snippet comes from my cozy-spooky fantasy rom-com, Good Neighbors, which is out in ebook, paperback, and audiobook (narrated by the fabulous @emmanewman.bsky.social ):

Word on the street is:
Fierce eyes on those who would do us harm.
Loving eyes on those whom we would protect.

Photo of a sidewalk blue post box with a speech bubble scrawled on it that says “Why hello there?!”

“How [we are] doing could be considered to be in conflict, or an expression of paradox. But in reality, that’s just life, isn’t it?”

My latest newsletter ponders the question, “How are you?”

I enjoyed Mark Gatiss’ Edwardian mystery book series, with its dashing bisexual hero, Lucifer Box.

I’m equally enjoying his post WWII historical mystery tv series Bookish (shout out to PBS here in the US) and its portrayal of a lavender marriage between two long term friends.

Thank you!

I write worlds I want to live in, where community, love, and justice prevail… and who doesn’t wanna live in a queer utopia?

That squirrel was very disappointed I had no treats!

A squirrel on grass, looks up at camera, alert.

Hello, friend.

“I will do it tomorrow,” said Toad. “Today I will take life easy.”

Thank you!!!!

From long experience in N.C., I like to remind folks of the following lessons from fighting our enemies: be relentless, be uncompromising, attack their money and put not your faith in politicians.

When it comes to the South, national queer/trans media tends to veer between doomerism and exultation.

By now you've probably heard that several prominent anti-trans Democrats lost primaries on Tuesday. This is, of course, good. But it ain't the whole story.

A🧵, y'all, from @transnews.network

Good to know!

I made this one, simplifying it from a longer multi-fold pamphlet design. And it includes my local area hotline #. If you have a local immigrant’s rights or 🧊 watch hotline, I suggest using that.

The pamphlet: signalfirespdx.com/media/files/...

I’ll try to post mine when I’m at my computer.

A small wood box filled with colorful rectangular whistles. Whistle instructions on lid: form a crowd, stay loud.

It’s another good day to help our neighbors.

(I’ve been dropping off these whistle kits at cafés & bars around town. For this project, I suggest hooking up with local 3D printers and buying key rings in bulk! I got this round of whistles from romance author @mostlybree.kitrocha.com & co)

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safe for children to grow up in.

My friend Thorn writes cozy mystery novels when they’re not writing transformational spiritual guides. Sometimes a cozy mystery is just what you need. These involve clever Corgis who solve mysteries. You know you need some of that!!! On kickstarter now.

Thank you!!!

Corgis Klaus and Marsha are on the case in Bookish Baddies: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tho...
