American author

Alice Blanchard is an American award-winning suspense novelist whose mission statement is "to write fiction that marries the sweeping scope of the thriller with the more personal epiphany of the short story." She won the Katherine Anne Porter Prize for Fiction for her book of stories, The Stuntman's Daughter.

Works

Her first novel, Darkness Peering, was named one of the New York Times' Notable Books, a Barnes & Noble Best Mystery, and a Book Sense Pick. Her thriller, The Breathtaker, was an official NBC Today Book Club selection. Blanchard has received a PEN Syndicated Fiction Award, a New Letters Literary Award, and a Centrum Artists in Residence Fellowship. Her books have been published in 17 countries.

Film rights have been optioned to Anonymous Content and John Wells Productions. Minotaur Books at St. Martin's Press will publish the first two novels in the Natalie Lockhart series. Trace of Evil follows a female rookie detective investigating the murder of a popular high school teacher who has eerie ties to the murder of a teenage girl 20 years ago. The series will unearth an even darker story involving a history of witch accusation and obsession with black magic deep in the woods of the fictional suburban community of Burning Lake, New York.
