Catherine Wallace Hope comes from a long line of writers, educators, librarians, and bookworms. Story has always been the family language.

Her work begins with questions that have no quick answers. Who are we? Why are we here? What do we mean to each other? She explores the emerging science that makes those questions newly urgent. The speculative elements in her fiction are drawn from real research because truth is often as fascinating as it is frightening.

She lives on an island with her family and her astonishingly spoiled dogs.

Her debut novel Once Again won the Colorado Book Award. Beyond the Fall is her next novel.
