Sophie’s debut novel, Count My Lies, is a Good Morning America Book Club pick and a Book of the Month main selection. A TV adaptation starring Lindsay Lohan

Shadow of the Solstice, arrived this year. All of her novels have been
New York Times bestsellers. Anne’s many awards include the Western
Writers Spur for best first novel, top mysteries in the New Mexico/Arizona

She is a graduate of UCLA and received her MFA from Stony Brook University. Prior to writing novels she worked as a fashion journalist in New York City, where she lived for 17 years.
