Jern Tonkoi writes introspective LGBTQ+ fiction that spans genres but shares one emotional core: stories of longing, identity, and the quiet ache of becoming. Her work often explores queer lives caught between worlds—geographical, cultural, or internal—and the fragile beauty of connection across time.
Split between Thailand and the UK, she writes with a cross-cultural eye and a lyrical touch. Her novels offer intimate portraits of love, friendship, and the spaces between people that make us human.
