Sophie has a background in Science, Education and Communications. She has written two books of poetry, entitled the The Scent of Eucalyptus, which is inspired by Australia’s unique flora and fauna and Elysian Dreams, which celebrates rockpools, mermaids and the cosmos.

Her first novel, The Yellow Dinghy Cafe is about three friends who have recently completed their Higher School Certificate. They each go their separate ways, but the distance between them is no match for the secrets, fears and hopes that bind them together.
