edit data

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, CHINA DOLL and JERUSALEM MAIDEN and HOTEL MOSCOW have garnered rave reviews and awards. As each touches a social issue never explored before, they are often the choice of reading groups in the USA and abroad.

THE THIRD DAUGHTER, a novel about sex trafficking in Buenos Aires in the late 1800s, was published by HarperCollins in September 2019. It was named Finalist by The Jewish Book Council (in the Book Club category.)

Talia Carner is now at work on her 6th novel, THE BOY WITH THE STAR TATTOO.

Her addictions include chocolate, ballet, hats—and social justice.
