Sophie Bartow
BIOGRAPHY

Hi, my name is Sophie and I am a hopeless romantic. Whether it’s in books, television or movies, give me a man who’s a little flawed and a strong woman and I will sit back and enjoy the romance. Television shows such as Days of Our Lives, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Remington Steele, Lois and Clark, Buffy, Lucifer, Bones, Timeless, A Discovery of Witches and Once Upon a Time had/have couples that make me swoon.

I’m a married, mother of four with a dog, and three cats. What that means is, I have had a very busy household for the past 20+ years. But now that my twin daughters are freshmen in college, it's time for my next adventure.

Sophie Bartow Interview On 04, Feb 2021

"Author of Stories from Swan Harbor series, Sophie Bartow is an excellent author of romantic suspense. Her journey into writing only started the past year after 30+ years in the medical field. She loves small-town books where all the characters are connected. Her stories are fun, unique, and full of great moments."
What is your strongest memory, as a child, of your parents and what were you all doing at the time?

This is going to sound odd but just off the top of my head, it’s that my father made me eat Chicken Pot Pies and to this day, I can not stand them.

How has being a book lover changed you

I think reading gives you an appreciation for other places and other types of people. And, depending on the type of books you read, help improve your vocabulary, your reasoning, and thought organization.

What are some recommendations of good fiction romance books?

I love anything by Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich, Debbie Macomber, Sheryl Woods and Shannon McKenna

Is the show Discovery of Witches based completely on the series of books?

Yes, it’s based on the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness

What is the biggest saltwater fish you have ever caught?

I’ve never caught any. And sadly, since the virus began, all of our fish have died. We’re debating whether we want to redo the tank or not. It’s pricey and difficult to maintain the salinity of the water.

How did you begin writing the A Swan Harbor Story series?

I love small town books where all the characters are connected, and they pop up periodically. Originally, I had planned on setting the stories in a small town in Florida but then in Book 1, ice skating and snow appeared and so I moved it north.

Who inspired the character of Veterinarian Emma Foster in "Kittens, Puppies & Love"?

The name is from one of my favorite shows, but the character just happened. I am a true pantser when I write. I begin with a name and maybe a job and start writing. Kittens was one of those stories, I had no idea where it was going when I started, but it worked.

What is the important essence or ingredient to writing a suspense thriller?

I think it’s making sure that you drop enough hints to bring your reader with you, but then also keep enough back so they’re surprised at the end. I also believe that it’s about building a world they are invested in. And then painting a picture with your words.

What would be your advice to hopeless romantic?

Love is out there if you’re open. I’ve been married for 32 years.

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

Actually, my journey into writing only started in the past year after 30+ years in a medical field. There is no way, I would have pursued this before I did because I tend to obsess over a story and have a bossy muse. It’s how I’ve published 7 books since March 2020.

Which do you prefer, Charlie's Angels or Scarecrow and Mrs. King?

Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I have the DVDs and still watch periodically.

What essential advice can you give for a new dog owner?

Consistency just like with children.

Is there anything new that you're working on? When can we expect the next book to come out?

In Kittens, Puppies & Love, I began weaving a secondary story centered around the ‘hope’ of the town. That secondary story played out through Brothers, Kisses, and Mistletoe and I’m currently working on Hope, Hearts & Forever, which is a parallel story of 1717/1718 and present day. I hope for it to be out in March.

Who or what was it that first introduced you to AllAuthor? What are your thoughts and opinions on it so far?

I ‘think’ I found out about All Author from L.H. Whitlock and so far, I love it. I’m sure there are many things it does, I’ve yet to discover, but it’s good.
