ⓘ About Madeline Thornton
Madeline Thornton is a young published author who likes to write her stories based around the Wild West’s rugged charm. She uses her vivid storytelling to bring together tales of hearts that are not yet tamed and the adventurous passionate love that has been pursued in the various frontier landscapes. Her stories are able to bring readers back to another time that involved saloon shootouts, cowboy grit, and different types of love that go on for as long as those impressive western plains. Madeline loves to make up her own stories. When she isn’t busy doing that, she can be discovered taking a look through the open range, as well as taking in all of the natural beauty that the countryside has to offer. She also loves to go on different adventures along with her loyal dog.
