Thomas Stöcklin

Thomas Stöcklin writes emotionally driven coming-of-age fiction set within an interconnected story universe where characters, experiences, and consequences overlap across multiple books.

At the heart of his work is the “You Are Not Alone” series, which follows David and Tim as they navigate first love, identity, and the pressures of growing up in a world that doesn’t always accept them. Set in the 1990s, the series captures the intensity of adolescence with honesty and sensitivity.

But their story is only the beginning.

With “Cliffs of Desire,” Stöcklin expands this universe through Michael’s journey—a young man caught between longing, self-doubt, and the extremes of Berlin’s nightlife as he searches for meaning, stability, and genuine connection. Additional characters such as Matthias and Lukas add further depth, revealing how closely intertwined these lives truly are.

Stöcklin explores themes of bullying, identity, first love, and the complexity of human relationships with a raw and authentic voice. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, he creates characters who feel real—vulnerable, conflicted, and deeply human.

As both an author and a coach, he brings a strong understanding of emotional conflict and interpersonal dynamics to his work. His stories resonate because they do not shy away from difficult truths, while still offering something essential: the sense that no one is truly alone.
