Fiona Davis is the New York Times bestselling author of seven historical fiction novels set in iconic New York City buildings, including The Magnolia Palace, The Dollhouse, The Address, The Lions of Fifth Avenue (which was a Good Morning America book club pick), and The Spectacular. Her novels have been chosen as “One Book, One Community” reads and her articles have appeared in publications like The Wall Street Journal and O the Oprah magazine. Her newest book, The Stolen Queen (January 2025), is an utterly addictive new novel that will transport you from New York City’s most glamorous party to the labyrinth streets of Cairo and back.
Fiona began her career in New York City as an actress, where she worked on Broadway, off-Broadway, and in regional theater. After getting a master’s degree at Columbia Journalism School, she fell in love with writing, leapfrogging from editor to freelance journalist before finally settling down as an author of historical fiction. Fiona’s books have been translated into over twenty languages. She’s a graduate of the College of William & Mary and is based in New York City.
“Fiona Davis was a lovely author to work with. She was very warm and inviting with our staff and the patrons that she interacted with on the day of the event. She was wonderful to host.” — Westerville Library, 2022
