About Me

Born in Denmark, Sophie has spent her youth traveling with her parents to wonderful places all around the world. She’s lived in five different countries, on three different continents, and speaks Danish, English, French, Spanish and Romanian.
She has studied design in Paris and New York and has a bachelor’s degree from Parson’s School of design, but most impressive of all – she’s been married to the same man three times, in three different countries and in three different dresses.
While living in Africa, Sophie turned to her lifelong passion – writing.
When she’s not busy, dreaming up her next romance novel, Sophie enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, cooking, gardening, watching romantic comedies and, of course, reading. She currently lives on the East Coast.

  1. I like all the same movies (have you seen "Return to Me" with Minnie Driver and David Duchovny?), tiramisu, and am ashamed I haven't read "Gone with the Wind." I own it-so I have little excuse. Cheers! Glad I found your blog.

    1. Thank you for commenting, Charlotte :) I don't believe I have seen "Return to Me", but the title reminds me of "Somewhere in Time." Will have to keep a lookout for it. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
