The author of ‘The Housemaid’ reveals her name after years signing as Freida McFadden

The author of the best-selling book ‘To the nurse’ has revealed his real name after three years of anonymity, signing as Freida McFadden. Sara Cohen, her real name, has stated that she was tired of people arguing about whether she was a “real” person or “three men.”

“I’m at a point in my career where I’m tired of this being a secret. I’m sick of people arguing if I’m a real person or if I’m actually three men. “I am a real person, I have a real identity and I have nothing to hide,” he explained exclusively in an interview with USA Today.

Since 2013, Freida McFadden has published under a stage name to safeguard her professional privacy and prevent her literary fame from affecting her work as a healthcare professional.

“In addition, the pseudonym allowed him to protect himself from the great media interest, given that he suffers from social anxiety.“explains Suma de Letras, its publishing house in Spain.

In fact, the author had maintained her anonymity even at public events, wearing a wig and glasses to go unnoticed, although she has assured that some medical colleagues came to recognize her and respected her “secret.”

Despite the revelation, Cohen assures that he will continue publishing under the name Freida McFadden, thus preserving her literary “brand.”

On April 21, Suma de Letras will publish a new ‘thriller’ by the author, ‘Querida Debbie’.
