I’m a writer, I’m a poet,

It’s a gift, they say, I know it!

Helps me fine tune all the voices

All the questions all the choices

Running through my busy brain:

Sorting crazy from the sane.

Tapping out a steady rhythm

Forming words into a vision

Giving shape to my emotions

When they feel as vast as oceans,

But today I’ve got to say;

I don’t know what to write.

Okay?!

I’m Sophie

I write fantasy and paranormal fiction – the real world is too sad, too mundane, too predictable, and too limited by the boundaries of physics – with themes of mystery (got to have something to work those little grey cells), and romance (because, honestly, what is life without love?).

My books are beautifully queer, because I am, but don’t worry, there is some straight representation. And they’re ND-coded: dry observational wit and delicious tangents, social-awkwardness and the insatiable search for dopamine…
