Author Guest / January 16, 2024

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Sophie Sullivan!   Writes: Swoon worthy romcoms where at least one of the characters, possibly more, get in over their head with love. Like Presley Ayers who buys her boyfriend a trip to Get Lost Lodge, only to find out she’s the last person he wants to go with. Instead, city girl, hotel concierge, Presley, takes the vacation all by herself. There, she meets Beckett Keller, the lodge owner’s brother. He’s hiking boots and trail riding while she’s high heels and swanky restaurants. She never expected to find love when she came to get lost.   About: Sophie Sullivan is a multi- published author whose debut romcom, TEN RULES FOR FAKING IT, won the Canadian Book Club Award for romance. LOVE, NATURALLY is her fourth book with St. Martin’s Press but she also writes happily ever after stories under her own name, Jody Holford.
