Pip Drysdale is the bestselling Australian author of five novels. She grew up between Australia and Africa, became an adult in New York and London, and lives on a steady diet of coffee, dreams and literature. Before she began writing novels, she spent years as a singer-songwriter and an actress. Her hugely popular ‘sexy-cool’ thrillers feature a dash of romance, black humour, and brilliantly flawed women. All of her books—The Sunday Girl, The Strangers We Know, The Paris Affair, The Next Girl and The Close-Up—have been bestsellers in Australia. The Strangers We Know was shortlisted for a Ned Kelly award, two of her books have been optioned for film/TV, she has sold into seven foreign territories and her debut vampire novel, Aubrey Wants To Die, written under the pen name Pip Knight, came out in March 2026.
