Sophia Nash
Sophia Nash was born in Switzerland, and raised in France and the United States, but says her heart resides in Regency England. Her ancestor, an infamous French admiral who traded epic cannon fire with the British Royal Navy, is surely turning in his grave.
She is very sorry to say that she does not have a Master’s Degree in English literature, nor a PhD in English history, although she wishes she did. She has a mere Bachelor’s Degree in Communication, which is worthless when it comes to writing Historicals. Although she does admit that it helped tremendously when she was an award-winning Producer/Writer for PM Magazine and the CBS/WTVJ-Miami news division, and again when she produced live international programs for the European Division of Worldnet Television.
Her checkered-career past also includes a stint on Capitol Hill, where she was a congressional speech writer, press secretary, and later a congressional liaison for a branch of the State Department. And to completely confound readers of her resume, she was also the CEO of the nonprofit Washington International Horse Show for almost a decade, coming full-circle from her childhood days of competing on the west coast junior equestrian circuit.
It came as little surprise to her family when she decided to focus on writing in 2000. An avid reader like her beloved father, she was enchanted by the idea of a job that required reading and writing all day long. Her first writing effort, A Secret Passion, was a finalist for a Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award. The final judge, an editor, purchased the manuscript—and a new career was born. Sophia’s first three novels have won eight national awards, including the prestigious RITA Award (A Passionate Endeavor) and a spot on the American Library Association's Booklist Top Ten Romances of the Year list (Lord Will & Her Grace). Her most current release for Avon was recently reviewed by The Chicago Tribune: “Richly emotional and lusciously sensual, 'A Dangerous Beauty' is simply superb.”
Sophia lives in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., with her husband, two children, a playful dachshund, and a tolerant and wise tabby cat.
