About Jenn
Jennifer Thorne is the USA Today bestselling author of Diavola, Lute, and Newbourne Park , as well as several books for younger readers under the name Jenn Marie Thorne. With Lee Kelly, she is the co-writer of historical fiction novels The Starlets, The Antiquity Affair, My Fair Frauds and The Midnight Show .
Born in a small town in Tennessee, Jenn grew up bouncing between her parents’ homes in various US states, with books as her constant companions. While majoring in drama at NYU-Tisch, she took as many dramatic writing classes as she could, and veered sensibly from the challenging career path of an actor to the every-bit-as-difficult life of a writer.
Jennifer’s publishing debut came in 2015: The Wrong Side of Right, an acclaimed YA contemporary rom-com set in the world of presidential politics. Two other YA novels followed, advocacy comedy The Inside of Out, and classical musician romance Night Music, as well as picture book Construction Zoo. Upon a move with her family to rural England, Jenn turned her sights on adult horror stories, beginning with Lute , then the USA Today bestseller Diavola , and her latest Newbourne Park. She also began a fruitful collaboration with long-time friend Lee Kelly, resulting in the historical fiction novels The Antiquity Affair , The Starlets and My Fair Frauds , as well as the thriller The Midnight Show .
Today, Jenn lives with her two sons, husband, and beloved dog in a cottage in the Cotswolds. In her free time, she performs locally as a light lyric soprano, including with a baroque chamber choir, cooks meals that are frequently a little beyond her, and plays video games on the easiest possible setting.
