The Thorne Report #4
Volume 1, Issue 4
✦ Welcome
You’ve found your way back to The Thorne Report.
Another dispatch from the House of Thorne — where stories smolder, secrets shift, and nothing ever cools for long.
Inside: updates, behind-the-scenes notes, and a few sparks I couldn’t keep to myself. Consider this your standing invitation to linger a little longer.
✦ In Production
✨ The Crossover Event: Unscripted
Our long-awaited crossover, Unscripted, created in collaboration with Josiah B Vale, is officially in release. Two universes colliding, four men, and one cinematic, high-heat spiral of creativity and intimacy—this project has been months in the making, and it’s now unfolding in real time.
The series continues through December, with Part 4 releasing on 12/20/2025. Readers should also be on the lookout for a special Christmas deal from Josiah ahead of that release.
If you’ve been waiting to step deeper into this world, now is the moment.
Muscle Memory
Ryan knows how to push through pain—study, lift, survive. But when Danny steps in to catch the bar before it crushes him, the lesson shifts. What happens between them isn’t planned; it’s reflex. Touch, breath, muscle, all memory in motion. Sometimes the body remembers what the mind won’t let it say.
Forever
Patrick’s rule is simple: never stay past seven. Aiden’s rule is simpler—don’t hope for more. But when the morning stretches past its limits, neither can pretend it’s casual anymore. Forever asks what happens when a moment built to end decides to stay.
Forever premiers on 12/17/2025.
🎯 NEXT MILESTONE: 1,500 SUBSCRIBERS — “THE ROAD TRIP”

When we reach 1,500 subscribers, I’ll unlock the next milestone story: The Road Trip.
This one begins with a simple decision—a long ride booked on impulse—and turns into something neither man expects. A stranger, a shared car, miles of road, and the quiet intimacy that forms when two lives run parallel just long enough to matter. The Road Trip is about connection without planning, vulnerability without labels, and the kind of encounter that feels temporary… until it isn’t.
We’re getting closer every week.
Remember, Milestone Stories are free for everyone and then they go into the vault after 7 days. However, paid subscribers, retain access indefinitely.
✦ New to the House
🎙️ PODCAST & AUDIO READ ALOUDS
The House of Thorne Podcast
The House of Thorne Podcast is now live and available directly through the app as well as on Spotify. This space is used for expanded commentary, reflections on the work, and conversations that don’t always fit neatly on the page.
Episodes are available exclusively to paid subscribers unless otherwise noted.
🔊 Audio Read Alouds
Audio read alouds are a separate offering and are attached directly to individual stories, allowing you to experience them in a more intimate, immersive way. These are also available to paid subscribers unless otherwise specified.
In the near future, I’ll be publishing a complete list of stories currently available with an audio read aloud option. For now, some notable titles include:
- Summer of the Wilds
- Critical Mass (Parts 4 and 5)
- True Love Stories Never Have Endings
- Unscripted (Part 1)
- Temporary Monuments (Part 6)
More audio versions are coming soon.
✦ Subscriber Updates
We recently celebrated 1,000 subscribers in a big way—with behind-the-scenes commentary, an incredible milestone story (Summer of the Wilds), exclusive freebies, and more. It was a moment worth marking, and I’m grateful to everyone who helped get us there.
We’ve also officially crossed 100 paid subscribers, which is a huge milestone for this publication and a meaningful signal of where this House is headed.
And thanks to your continued support, The House of Thorne has been consistently ranked on both Rising in Fiction and the Fiction Bestsellers lists. None of that happens without readers who show up, share the work, and believe in what we’re building here.
Thank you for being part of it.
And…
THE TIP JAR IS NOW OPEN
I hear from a lot of you that you want to support the work that I do, but funds are tight. Well now you can use the tip jar. In the coming weeks I’ll work out a system so that larger tip amounts will get you access to certain perks, and this will work retroactively so feel free to use the tip jar and reap some benefits later.
✦ Upcoming Projects
Here’s what’s smoldering just beyond the horizon:
📘 1. The Ebook Store (Title TBD)
Soon, free subscribers will be able to purchase individual stories as ebooks — at a discount — without committing to a full subscription.
You’ll own your favorites, revisit them anytime, and support the House on your own terms.
🖼️ 2. More Essays & Galleries
Paid subscribers already received the first essay and the first photo gallery — and there are many more coming.
These will include:
- Craft essays
- Behind-the-scenes development notes
- Character studies
- Visual galleries tied to specific stories and worlds
I’m excited to expand this side of the House.
🗝️ 3. Personal Stories — Behind the Curtain
Paid members are going to get more:
true-life, behind-the-scenes accounts of my own intimate, erotic encounters.
These aren’t fictionalized.
They’re the moments that shaped me, thrilled me, taught me, and sometimes wrecked me.
Think of them as the director’s commentary I’ve never shared… until now.
✦ Special Note: A Note on Intentionality
As this House keeps growing, I’ve been thinking a lot about intentionality—what it means to bring it not just into the work, but into the space we’re building together.
I don’t want to be a distant voice on a screen or a character that feels out of reach. While some parts of my life will always stay private, this publication isn’t meant to be cold or transactional. It’s meant to be lived in.
I genuinely love getting to know you—your struggles, your triumphs, the things you’re carrying quietly and the moments you’re proud of. Yes, this House is a place for desire and heat and fantasy. But it’s also a place for honesty, connection, and being seen.
I don’t just want to be the guy who helps you get off.
I want to be someone you feel comfortable letting in.
That’s the intention I’m bringing into this next chapter—into the stories, into the conversations, and into the way we show up for one another here.
Thank you for trusting me with your time, your attention, and sometimes even your truth.
Until the next dispatch, keep your heart open and your pulse quickened.
The House of Thorne is only just getting started.
