About Zoë
I'm an award-winning, bestselling author
who takes pleasure in exploring Saudi Arabia’s cultural richness and portraying contradictions that resist stereotype.
My Story
My books, literary mysteries that explore life in Saudi Arabia, are award-winning, international bestsellers with rights sold in 45 countries.
My debut, Finding Nouf, was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. It was winner of the LA Times Book Award for First Fiction, a B&N Discover pick, an ALE Alex Award winner, Publisher’s Weekly starred review, and many others. Two follow-up novels, City of Veils and Kingdom of Strangers, were published by Little, Brown. You can read more about the books here.
All three novels have been national and international bestsellers. They have also been optioned for a television series, with rights in negotiation by my brilliant film agent, Dana Spector at CAA.
After taking some time off from the series, I am back with a fourth book (finished, not published yet) and a fifth one in the works.
