Mel Thorn
Biography
Since I was old enough to put a pencil to paper, I've been writing and drawing. Some say I'm lucky to have a multitude of talents, but they sure keep me incredibly busy, and at times can even become a hindrance.
I mostly, if not exclusively, write gay stories, whether it's romance, erotica, drama, or even all of the above. There are several reasons for this, one of them simply being that it's what I love to write about. Since I was young, ninety-nine percent of the characters I would create were male, and always had gay tendencies. I guess that evolved as I grew up and lived through my own experiences.
My favorite kinds of stories are ones of a controversial or taboo nature, because they are less likely to be "clones" of already existing stories. Something that stands out from the rest, something out of the ordinary, has a distinct appeal to me, and I encourage such storytelling (I do not believe a vampire dating a high school chick is taboo).
What's most important to me about writing, as well as reading, is that a story passes a torch, an important message regarding the nature of humankind and civilization, so that future generations can learn from its messages. Some of the greatest stories ever written had strong commentaries on life in general, and the way we have evolved as people. A book should be more than a good story.
Once in a blue moon, I'll also write songs, but I try to focus more on my actual novels/novellas, since my time is already filled enough with those. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a social life, but that can happen to starving artists.
I'm 27 years old and live with my partner (and my annoying yet lovable orange tabby cat), the supportive and caring love of my life. Thanks to horribly bad luck, I'm in between jobs, using my free time to write, write, and write some more.
