Thomas creates stories that entertain, inspire, and leave readers feeling seen.

She began her writing journey with The Magic Chest: Sands of Time, inspired by the bedtime stories she created for her children. That spark grew into a series that includes Dancing ’Til Dusk, Halloween Hideout, and Seaside Treasure.

For mystery lovers, she writes The Thorne Sister Sleuths Cozy Mystery Series, a charming collection of whodunits full of suspense, heart, and Southern flair. Each book in the series invites you into a world where secrets are hidden among the blooms and danger lurks beneath the surface of small-town charm. Whether they’re unraveling clues left in a rose garden, uncovering scandals tied to local landmarks, or confronting dark motives rooted in greed and jealousy, the Thorne sisters bring wit, courage, and a unique perspective to every case.

A graduate of the University of Louisville and a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, D.G. Thomas lives in Kentucky with her daughter, son, and their ever-curious cat.
