Hi! I'm Sarah J. Williams, and I'm a children’s book author who has published two books, Sophia & the Dragon: Who Came for Dinner and Sophia & Mr Rocket.

I live with my half-British, half-Swedish family in Örebro, Sweden. My Sophia books are named after and based on my daughter (Sophia is her middle name). The books about Sophia contain helpful tricks, games, and stories that I used to tell my daughter when she was little.

Writing has always been my greatest passion. A fun anecdote is that I created children’s books before I could read myself. When I was little, I folded together paper into miniature books, drew animals, and “wrote” by using wavy lines. Then, I made up stories for the small books, telling anyone who wanted to listen. A shout-out to anyone who used to do the same!

I've written two more Sophia books. They are currently being queried for the Swedish traditional book market. They will be published and translated into English. Furthermore, I have now written my eighth book, which is also currently being queried to Swedish traditional book publishers. 

Fun Facts:

• One of my favourite books is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I've reread the books numerous times and still laugh at hearing the word "yellow".
• My favourite book series when growing up was Narnia.
• The children's book author that I look up to the most is Julia Donaldson. She has written The Gruffalo and many other great stories for children.
• I have a home library with over one thousand books.
• When I'm not writing two books a year, I'm a student and work in psychiatry.
• I'm fluent in English as well as Swedish.
• My daughter has a dog called Achilles, as well as two cats: Willow and Daizy.  
• I studied journalism and writing at The Writer's Bureau in the United Kingdom.
