Simone Sachs

Simone Sachs writes psychological and domestic thrillers about the quiet fractures in ordinary lives—the secrets we keep, the lies we tell ourselves, and the moments when everything tilts just slightly off balance.

In her early thirties, Simone lives in a European capital city where history sits comfortably beside modern chaos. By day, she’s usually found juggling work, motherhood (one determined toddler), strong coffee, and a notebook filled with half-formed ideas. By night, she reads—mostly twisty thrillers that make her question everyone’s motives, though her shelves hold everything from literary fiction to fantasy.

She’s endlessly curious about how people think and why they do what they do. Writing, for her, is a way of figuring life out in real time. When she’s not plotting fictional betrayals, she’s getting creative with her reading journal—color-coding themes, dissecting endings, and occasionally arguing with plot twists that should have been better.

She shares her home—and her first drafts—with her partner, who has learned to answer suspicious questions like “If you disappeared, who would know first?”
