Sophia an author of hopeful adventure stories of eco-bravery, queer connection and metaphysical mischief based in Vancouver, Canada. She keeps a messy garden and loves all four of her callings: writing, composing and performing music, teaching, and helping businesses and non-profits do good things better.

Sophia is an expert about some of the subjects she writes about – ecological sustainability, queer relationships, and magic. She is sadly not yet an expert on time travel or goats, but studied physics for a time at UBC on a math and physics scholarship. She has a web development and marketing company in Vancouver Canada.

Sophia is a singer songwriter and the lead singer in the all woman country band, Bushy Park. She co-founded a Vancouver-

One foot on water, one on the land

Have you ever wondered how to keep your creative gift and your body (and mortgage) all fed at the same time?

Since early this year, I have been spending a good portion of each day writing novels. This is an extraordinary gift to myself and act of trust. And when I say novels, I mean working in parallel, at last count, on three, with one non-fiction book (or maybe it is two) gestating as well.

Sophia liked an answer from Lois McMaster Bujold:
Lois McMaster Bujold

Umegat's first love was indeed horribly executed. Daris was a later love. Who also ran into grave perils, presumably on some joint spying mission, possibly against the Golden General's forces, but at least he survived. There might have been a heroic See Lois’s answer.

Anne Lamott
“If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth is always subversive.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
