Freida McFadden is an American novelist known for her psychological thrillers. Her suspense novels consistently top the American bestseller lists. Freida is also a practicing physician specializing in brain injury, having attended Harvard University as an undergraduate. She initially wrote in the “medical humour” genre before transitioning to mystery thrillers. Her novels have been translated into 40 languages.
Freida was born in New York City and now lives in Boston with her family and cat. When asked how she juggles writing, practicing medicine, and being a mom, she says, “Over the years, I have learned to be fast and efficient with lots of practice. I’m also an incredibly good multitasker. My physician job is technically part-time, and now I have cut back even further to per diem. Also, my kids have reached that stage of adolescence where they basically just come out of their room for food and drink. Sort of like the cat. Sometimes I think I see the cat more than I see them.”
