Author of The Love Proof
“A brilliant physicist studying the nature of time embarks on a journey to prove that those we love are always connected to us, leading to surprising revelations in this fresh and unique love story.”
Author Interview - Madeleine Henry
Author I draw inspiration from: Jill Santopolo meets Blake Crouch. I like to think of The Love Proof as moving and mind-bending, a book that will engage your heart as much as your intellect.

Favorite place to read a book: Audiobook on a walk outside. My previous jobs in finance piqued my appreciation for movement.
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Sherlock Holmes, so I could pick his brain for tricks to be smarter.

The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: Always. I self-published books of poems as a nine-year-old. In college, I worked one-on-one with a professor at Yale to write a novel each semester of my senior year. During that time, I chose classes to take place only Monday-Wednesday, then Thursday-Sunday I would commute into New York City, stay at my parents' apartment, and write.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: Audiobook! I love holding books, knowing instantly how far along I am in a story, and seeing how words look on a page, but audiobooks let me be mobile. I really cherish the opportunity to move.
The last book I read: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
Author Interview - Madeleine Henry
Pen & paper or computer: Computer!
Book character I think I’d be best friends with: Papa in The Shack by William Paul Young.
In this book, God visits the main character Mack in the form of Papa, the warmest woman I've ever read. Why not hang out with a maternal God?

If I weren’t an author, I’d be a: Wishing I were!
Favorite decade in fashion history: Now, which I say only because I don't know the other decades by style.
Place I’d most like to travel: Nepal! I'd love to hike the Annapurna Circuit, for the natural beauty in one of the spiritual centers of the world. My fiancé and I do plan to do this one day, maybe in 2022. It's supposed to be challenging because of the altitude, but we can train for it in advance and acclimate once we're there.
My signature drink: Sparkling water and a lime!
Favorite artist: Christian Bale. It makes me happy to see people devoted to their craft, and he is the most committed method actor I know.
Number one on my bucket list: Live without fear!
