Thorn, a native resident of Louisiana in his early thirties, remains unmarried and has no children. He is close to his family and friends, spending as much time as possible with them. His inspiration comes from an eclectic variety of sources including the traditional film and book genres, as well as viewing photos of and experiencing landscapes and architecture. His hope is that his work will not only entertain his readers, but that it will also inspire them to continually push forward, even in the face of great adversity.
