Nathan T. Collins

It started in middle school

Nathan T. Collins has carried the world of the Thread since middle school — a place he kept returning to long before he ever owned a café. When the time felt right, Nathan and his family decided it was finally time to bring it to life, and The Celestial Thread: The Sundering is what came of that decision.

Misty Ember Café in Toccoa, Georgia is where the world lives day to day now: every character drink on the menu is named for a being from the book. Signed copies appear periodically — or catch him in the café and ask. He's usually the one behind the counter.
