About this author

Compton burrows so deeply into Olivia's and Anders' troubled back stories and dramatizes in such psychologically compelling terms the swain's attempt to rescue his princess . . . that the result is a pleasing hybrid of fairy tale and contemporary thriller. . . [Her] increasingly pointed questions abo...more

description: Dear Goodreads Friends,

This Sunday, February 21, SECRETS OF EDEN will be # 6 on the New York Times bestseller list.

I am delighted – and grateful. SECRETS OF EDEN had such an extraordinary first two weeks because of all of you. You are the wondrous readers and booksellers who supported the book from day one. Thank you.

Now, one of the benefits of having a book on the bestseller list is that it means the novel is deeply discounted at many bookstores.

And to make sure there are plenty of party fa...more

Julie said: Yes, I will stroll by a bookstore and buy my copy of SECRETS OF EDEN before this coming Saturday night. Indeed, I'll get it tonight at the Barnes & Noble in Naples, FL!
