Sheila Weller is a bestselling author and award-winning magazine journalist. She is the author of six books – two of them New York Times bestsellers. Of her 2002 family memoir, Dancing at Ciro’s, The Washington Post said: "This chronicle of glamour, rage, sorrow and despair makes a substantial contribution to American social history." In its starred review, Publishers Weekly called her 1992 narrative nonfiction "a uniquely drawn tragedy, told brilliantly." Her 1995 account of the marriage of O.J. and Nicole Brown Simpson, Raging Heart – based on exclusive interviews with almost all of the couple’s closest friends, immediately after the murders -- gave the case a major prosecution witness, was entered into the trial, was top of the national news upon its publication, and reached #2 on the Times bestseller list. Her lauded 1997 Saint of Circumstance revealed additional victims of "preppy rapist" Alex Kelly and the social context of his crimes in an affluent Connecticut suburb. She is also the author of Marrying The Hangman, about a 1987 New York murder and custody case. The book demonstrated how wife-killers can gain custody of their children through the U.S. legal system.
