The Housemaid author Freida McFadden is finally revealing her true identity after keeping it under wraps for 23 years. "I'm at a point in my career when I'm tired of this being a secret. I'm tired of people debating if I'm a real person or if I'm three men," McFadden told USA Today in an interview published on Wednesday, April 8. "I am a real person and I have a real identity and I don't have anything to hide." The author has released domestic thrillers for more than two decades while using a wig and glasses to help hide who she really is.
