edit data

Jacqueline Thorpe is an Aurora-nominated science fiction writer based in Toronto.

Her debut novel, "A Corruption of Memory," is a twisty sci-fi suspense about a father racing to save his son from a genetic edit that's rewriting children's memories.

Simmering with family secrets, corporate intrigue, and cutting-edge gene tech, it explores the promise—and peril—of technology, set in a future hauntingly familiar to our own.

Hi everyone,

Seems I haven't posted since my book release in July. 😳

It's certainly been a whirlwind. I've been a mad woman on IG and TikTok, a bit on Threads and the X but somehow GR slips my mind. Anyhow if you want more regular posts hop on over to IG which is slowly becoming my default.

I've got a lovely website too with a list of accumulating blogs including a bit of a dive into CRISPR, the tech Read more of this blog post »
