Biography

Brock Thoene

Bodie and Brock Thoene (pronounced Tay-nee) have written over 65 works of historical fiction. Over 35 million of these bestselling novels are in print. Eight ECPA Gold Medallion Awards affirms what millions of readers have already discovered --- the Thoenes are not only master stylists but experts at capturing readers’ minds and hearts.

Bodie began her writing career as a teen journalist for her local newspaper. Eventually her byline appeared in prestigious periodicals such as U.S. News and World Report, The American West and The Saturday Evening Post. She also worked for John Wayne’s Batjac Productions (she’s best known as author of THE FALL GUY) and ABC Circle Films as a writer and researcher. John Wayne described her as “a writer with talent that captures the people and the times!” She has degrees in journalism and communications.

Brock has often been described by Bodie as “an essential half of this writing team.” With degrees in both history and education, Brock has, in his role as researcher and story-line consultant, added the vital dimension of historical accuracy. Due to such careful research, The Zion Covenant and The Zion Chronicles series are recognized by the American Library Association, as well as Zionist libraries around the world, as classic historical novels and are used to teach history in college classrooms.

Bodie and Brock have four grown children --- Rachel, Jake, Luke and Ellie --- and eight grandchildren. Their sons, Jake and Luke, are carrying on the Thoene family talent as the next generation of writers, and Luke produces the Thoene audiobooks.

Bodie and Brock divide their time between London, Hawaii, Central California and Nevada.
