About the Author
Sophia Murphy is a freelance writer based in Toronto. While she always dreamed of being a writer, her life took her down a different path. But, after a lengthy career in communications and some time off to raise her children, she found her way back to her first love. Sophia holds a BA with honors in English literature from Carleton University and is in the process of writing the book of her dreams. She loves superhero movies, detective mysteries, and old-school cartoons. When she's not writing or reading, you can find her singing along to her favorite songs or in a fierce board game competition with her husband and two boys.
