Originally from Scotland, Sophia Ferguson now lives in London with her son and two dogs. Her background in Psychology has inspired her to write several non-fiction titles, some of which are written under a pen name.

Sophia also loves to write and illustrate quirky children's stories and has been doing so since she was a child. Grandpa Mudcake is a caricature of her grumpy Scottish father, while Reginald Stinkbottom is a caricature of her favourite comedian. Several other family members and a few neighbours are also featured in her children's books - but they don't know this!
