Victoria Helen Stone, a WSJ bestselling author, is renowned for her runaway hit Jane Doe and her critically acclaimed novels of dark intrigue and emotional suspense. Some of her notable works include At The Quiet Edge, The Last One Home, Problem Child, Half Past, and the chart-topping False Step and Evelyn, After. As USA Today bestselling author Victoria Dahl, she published twenty-nine books and won the prestigious American Library Association Reading List award for best genre fiction. Her novels have been translated into numerous languages, including English, Russian, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Lithuanian, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Indonesian, Czech, Hebrew, Estonian, Polish, Norwegian, Dutch, and Thai.

Victoria writes from her home office high in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, far from her origins in the flattest plains of Minnesota, Texas, and Oklahoma. She enjoys gorgeous summer trail hikes in the mountains almost as much as staying inside by the fire during winter. Victoria is passionate about dessert, true crime, and has an amusing terror of mosquitoes which, as she humorously notes, have targeted her in a diabolical conspiracy to hunt her down no matter the season.
