D. Thourson Palmer is an author of contemporary magical realism, epic fantasy, and everything in between.
D. Thourson Palmer sheared sheep in rural Ohio, studied in the Appalachian foothills, taught in Japan wherever a train could take him, and got lost in the Central Valley of California. In his past he’s been a forensic chemist, blood research scientist, English teacher, and competitive judoka.
His forthcoming novel, Rust River Gothic, is emblematic of his work; a dreamlike, sometimes unsettling waterway leading from our world to another—more vibrant, more peculiar, and more dangerous. He also writes emotional and freaky epic fantasy that veers occasionally into horror.
He lives in Columbus, Ohio.
