Magic for Liars

by Sarah Gailey

The author

It’s been a year and a half since it came out, and I still can’t believe Magic for Liars is really and truly out in the world. What started out as a book about murder and magic turned into a book about identity, sisterhood, paths not travelled, consent, and the lies we tell ourselves to justify the people we become. The journey that led to Magic for Liars being in your hands right now is one that has changed my life for the better, in so many ways. Since I sat on my bed with a notebook looking at a page with the words “novel idea” written at the top, I’ve moved three times, written four novels and two novellas, gotten divorced, fallen in love again, lost myself, found myself, and become the person I am today. In so many ways, this book is where my life began. Thank you so much for sharing it with me.
