Sophia Zane is a trauma-forward author of psychological suspense, writing for women who carry scars. Her emotionally charged thrillers explore the fragility of memory, the weight of trauma, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit.

That means a lot to me. The opening of The Lies We Whisper is deeply personal. I drew on real life experiences, both my own and those shared with me over the years. I also spent a lot of time researching trauma, memory, and survival because I wanted Hanna’s journey to feel as real and relatable as possible. My goal was to honor those silent battles so many people carry and to write with honesty, even when it hurts. I’m glad it resonated with you.(less)

Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, both volumes of Gone with the Wind, and Oedipus. I figure if I’m going to escape into stories, I might as well travel from Middle-earth to Regency England to the heart of Greek tragedy plus a sweeping Southern saga or two for good measure. I’m also making room for some new indie authors this season, because there’s nothing better than discovering a fresh voice or getting pulled into a story that hasn’t hit the mainstream yet. If you have any indie recommendations, I’d love to hear them!(less)

Why The Lies We Whisper Begins with Trauma

When I first started writing The Lies We Whisper, I didn’t set out to write a story about trauma. I wanted to write about a woman who spent her life trying to understand monsters — until she realized one had been living inside her all along.

But as Hanna’s voice grew louder, it became clear: Book 1 isn’t a crime novel dressed in psychology. It’s a study of survival. It’s trauma wearing a lab coat, Read more of this blog post »

"I wasn't planning to read this book again, when my friend Lynn picked it for our October "real life" book club selection. I'd read it in 1985, and while I didn't remember a lot of details, I do remember absolutely loving it. And then it happened...

“For every soul once told they were too much or never enough—who kept going anyway. You carried pain in silence, stood when no one clapped, and chose to rise. Not as a survivor, but as a storm.”
