Sophie King always wanted to write which is just as well, since she can't do maths. After reading English at university, she trained as a journalist and went on to work in the fashion world where she interviewed celebrities such as Zandra Rhodes and the Emanuels who designed Diana's dress.
However, she'd always wanted to write novels, so she started writing funny romances while her children were asleep. This didn't always work. One day, the youngest managed to switch off her computer and all Sophie's work was lost. That child is now a writer himself. In fact, they all are. Tales like these (and more) have helped to inspire her stories.
Janey Fraser also writes women's fiction novels under the pen name of Sophie King.
