edit data

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

She is releasing "A Corruption of Memory," on July 21, 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.

Jacqueline spent years as a financial journalist, working for Bloomberg, the National Post, and Reuters, where she learned the best stories are often torn from the headlines.

She likes forests, streams, and reading a book in front of a fire (or anywhere). She'd love it if you joined her on this new adventure! ...more
