Sophia Payne Author

Sophia Payne discovered her passion for writing while she should have been studying I.T. After a long-standing career in technical support, she finally decided to make the change and study for a degree in creative writing. She now writes picture books and tries to keep away from broken computers. Her writing often reflects her Indo-Caribbean heritage, as well as her motto in life: always be kind.
