Thora Gabriel

Like Chessie Bligh, the hero in her novels, Thora Gabriel is an adventurer. An avid, experienced hiker, Thora navigates remote canyons of the southwest. If only she could borrow Chessie's magic bubble wand and disappear into the book!

Even without the wand, Thora's world is magical. Her debut novel Chessie Bligh has won multiple awards: Mom's Choice Award (YA / Fantasy, March 2008), an iUniverse Editor's and Reader's Choice Award (Nov 2007), the Midwest Book Review - Fantasy/Fiction (Sept 2007), and The Reading Tub (Summer 2008). Check out her book trailer, Chessie Bligh on UTUBE!

A professional writer for over 10 years, Thora is currently working on Book II - Journey to Antelantiesse.
