J Harper Clarke writes slow-burn thrillers about memory, identity, and survival… whether that means outwitting a covert program or outrunning the ghosts in your own head. Her stories mix psychological tension with conspiracy, grounded in characters who don’t quite trust what they know.

She’s drawn to the quiet moments between action — the aftermath, the cover-up, the reckoning — and the weight of choices made in the dark. She lives in the city but dreams of disappearing into the mountains with a stack of notebooks and no cell signal.
