Background

Authorial Context: Alice Feeney

Alice Feeney is a British author who specializes in mystery novels and psychological thrillers. Before launching her fiction-writing career, Feeney worked as a BBC journalist and producer. She also spent over a decade working as a reporter and news editor for various arts and entertainment programs. When Feeney was 30 years old, she enrolled in the Faber Academy’s writing course and concurrently began her first novel. Her debut, Sometimes I Lie, was published in 2018 by Flatiron Books. She has since published six more titles with Flatiron, including I Know Who You Are, His & Hers, Rock Paper Scissors, Daisy Darker, Good Bad Girl, and most recently Beautiful Ugly.

Feeney’s novels Sometimes I Lie, His & Hers, and Rock Paper Scissors have been adapted to the screen. Sometimes I Lie is now a Netflix television series, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. His & Hers and Rock Paper Scissors are still in production and will star Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal in leading roles. Ellen DeGeneres, Jeff Kleeman, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Campo, and Endeavor Content are also projected to participate in these adaptations.
