Please note. Our great friend Ronn Neff died on September 26, 2021. As a result, it became necessary to move the Thornwalker domain to a different server, and it appears that some files were lost in that process. I believe I have restored all of them from a backup memory stick I had prepared. But please let me know if you are still encountering any broken links. — Tom McPherren, strakon@icloud.com

  •   Thornwalker provides editorial services for periodicals, books, and websites, specializing in free-market libertarian materials.

    Thornwalker has no tolerance for misspellings, bad grammar, or incorrect usage in texts — especially in the texts of websites. We like to read sentences fueled by decisive verbs, sentences unafraid of pronouns, and sentences with accurate prepositions. Sentences vandalizing comprise and transpire are sentenced to corrective institutions, whence they emerge having paid their debt to society and prepared to live out their natural lives as productive citizens of the English-speaking world.

    We specialize in websites whose content is unencumbered by frills. Websites requiring intelligent clarity to reflect well on the businesses operating them need the love and attention Thornwalker will shower on them.

    Broken links are anathema to Thornwalker. We check all links on active websites we manage frequently so that no reader ever suffers the frustration of unproductive link-clicking. When the original link is lost, we search for suitable substitutes or note the loss in the text.

    In short, Thornwalker promises to be Annie Sullivan to your website’s Helen Keller.

    Some websites formerly managed, designed, or edited by Thornwalker are:

    Though the sites are no longer active, they have remained as archives on the Internet.
