I am the author of A Very Typical Family (commercial fiction, Sourcebooks 2022), The Second Chance Hotel (romance, Sourcebooks 2023), and the forthcoming THE ENIGMA CHALLENGE (Viking Penguin 2026) (see https://www.goodreads.com/scgodfrey for that book)

I'm mostly on Instagram, where I am delighted to talk books with you. Connect with me there @sierragodfrey.

Like the setting in A Very Typical Family, I was born in Santa Cruz, California and now reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with my family, where I read a lot and feed my own murder of crows.

The Enigma Challenge is here!

Hi all,

ANNOUNCEMENT!

If you haven't seen, my third novel, The Enigma Challenge, just published. It's a thriller and it's SO FUN.

As Kirkus reviews says, “This is what you’d get if a Dan Brown novel was rewritten by Emily Henry.”

The Enigma Challenge is a fast-paced thriller that follows a cryptologist (Zoe) and a mysterious hacker (Dane) as they race across Europe in a dangerously high-stakes comp Read more of this blog post »

This was SUCH a fun read. It satisfies my NYC itch and pays homage to libraries. The banter was great and the romance sweet. Schorr always delivers such good romcoms, and this third book of hers is no exception.

I adored this book. I loved Brown's first book, The Book of Doors, too, and I'm so excited to say this one is just as excellent, if not more. A really entertaining, big-world read, and I adored the concept of these magical objects out there. Every si ...more

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
Aldous Huxley, Crome Yellow
