<b>Strange Things Walk the Streets of London, and Only One Boy Seems to Notice</b>

What does it mean to see shadowy forms mingling with London’s daily crowds?

Genre GLBT Young Adult writer, Hayden Thorne, explores a few curious little mysteries that enter fifteen-year-old Norris Woodhead’s dull and lonely life in her new novel, <i>The Twilight Gods.</i> Set in Victorian England during the Great Exhibition, the story follows Norris’ unusual coming-of-age at a time when England celebrates advances in technology and science.

<i>The Twilight Gods</i> is a retelling of a Native American folktale called “The Girl Who Married a Ghost.” It is a melding of the fantastic with the real, in which a gay teen’s coming-out process is explored along supernatural lines. The novel’s plot might be steeped in folklore and magic, but the issues Norris faces are not.

Hayden Thorne has written other genre titles for GLBT teens: a historical romance, a Victorian ghost story, and a contemporary superhero series. She is currently writing a sequel to her <i>Masks</i> superhero trilogy. She owns a blog at http://www.haydenthorne.net/.

The book is now available through the publisher and Amazon.
