Award winning author Sophie Perinot has enjoyed a decade-long career writing historical fiction. She’s authored solo novels centered on strong, royal women, (The Sister Queens and Médicis Daughter) as well as working with fellow historical novelists like Kate Quinn, Ben Kane, Heather Webb and Eliza Knight to craft collaborative novels about the French Revolution (Ribbons of Scarlet) and the destruction of Pompeii (A Day of Fire). Recently Sophie began writing crime as Evie Hawtrey. Even her mystery (And by Fire) has history in it, featuring the 1666 Great Fire alongside a modern, London-set, storyline. Sophie may be American by birth, but she currently resides in York, UK (as a recipient of the UK Talent Visa in Literature).
