Sophie Williamson

Sophie grew up in the North of England and now lives in London with her husband, pre-school daughter, and baby son. She studied history at Oxford University (and still loves the three Rs: Renaissance, Restoration, and Regency), before qualifying as a barrister and then working for the UK Government. Sophie writes adult fantasy fiction with a heavy side order of romance, generally involving some combination of morally ambiguous protagonists; villainous love interests; unreliable narrators; scheming; complex family dynamics; and big twists. Her writing often draws on her knowledge and experience of history, law, and politics. Reading, writing and reviewing have always been Sophie’s biggest passions, but books aside, she’s fanatical about home exercise (mainly weights and yoga) and also about cooking – the two things just about balance each other out! She’s also a fan of football (aka “soccer”) and indie/rock music.
