Whenever I feel I haven't the time to fit everything into my day I should think about Sophie King. She is one busy woman. Not only does she have three fictional books published with her fourth coming out in September, she has also written non-fiction books (under her real name Jane Bidder), is a creative writing teacher, a journalist with articles published in The Times, The Telegraph, Woman and other national publications, she writes short stories, has speaking engagements and appraises manuscripts. Oh and she also writes a newspaper column. Phew.
After graduating from university, Jane trained as a journalist for the Thomson Organisation (previous owners of The Times). She then went on to a trade fashion magazine, Features Editor of Parents Magazine, then Features Writer of Woman's Own before becoming freelance after she had her children.
She is runner up of the Harry Bowling Award and was winner of the Romantic Novelist's Association's Elizabeth Goudge Award in 2004.
Her books are aimed at anyone "who can identify with a chaotic family life". That's me then.
