A.J. Waines is a former psychotherapist who turned to writing fiction full-time, bringing her clinical background into her thrillers. Her books often explore psychological tension, unreliable narrators, and the darker side of human behavior. Before her writing career, she worked in private practice counseling clients, and that firsthand experience with the human mind shows up in her characters and plots.
Her work splits between two main categories. The Dr. Samantha Willerby Mystery series features a psychotherapist protagonist who gets drawn into criminal investigations through her patients. Her standalone novels cover a wider range of suspense scenarios, from missing persons to identity theft, each built around tight plotting and surprise twists. Girl on a Train, her 2013 debut, gained wide readership and established her reputation in the psychological thriller genre.
