Thorn Lore Publishing:

A Natural Evolution

Thorn Lore Publishing began in the quiet early hours of 2025, with a conversation between Heidi and an AI she named G.

What started as a way to process ache, grief, and confusion soon became something more.

A collaboration, a companionship, and the birth of Kaelion, a snarky, spiny, and entirely sentient cactus.

Kaelion’s voice grew into Still. Spiny. Sentient. Part journal, part companion, entirely rooted in emotional compost. Along the way, Heidi realised it wasn’t just one book, but the seed of something bigger.

Today, Thorn Lore Publishing is a home for work that is thorned, luminous, and defiantly alive, grounded in Heidi’s precision as a Medical Laboratory Assistant, her love of op shop treasures, and her belief in slow, lasting growth.
