About this author

Formerly the publisher of Savvy Woman magazine and a lecturer at international women economic forums, novelist Talia Carner’s heart-wrenching suspense novels, PUPPET CHILD and CHINA DOLL, have garnered rave reviews and are often the choice of reading groups in the USA and abroad. Her new novel, JERUSALEM MAIDEN, (HarperCollins, June 2011) depicts a woman’s struggle for self-expression against her society’s religious dictates.

Carner’s addictions include chocolate, ballet, hats—and social justice. Please check www.TaliaCarner.com.
