Duncan Thornton

Duncan Thornton was born in God’s Lake Narrows, Manitoba and currently makes his home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Duncan dropped out of school after Grade eight but entered university at the age of twenty as a mature student, graduating with the gold medal in Honours History.  Thornton is the founding editor of the electronic version of Canadian Review of Materials, and along with this he finds time to write his own material, work as a freelance writer and teach communications at Red River College in Winnipeg. 

Kalifax, his first book, was on the short-list of almost every award, including the 2000 Governor General’s, Mr. Christie’s Awards, the Manitoba Best first Novel, Best Children’s Book Awards, and the Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice Award.  Captain Jenny was his second book, with The Star Glass (2003) his third novel continuing the explorations of Tom and Jenny.  His next goal is to write a book for grown-ups.
