About Sophie Pembroke

I love telling stories about friends, family and falling in love, and often set them in my homeland of Wales as a method of combating homesickness. My books all tend to include tea, cake, wine, good food and communities of people coming together. My blog, at www.SophiePembroke.com, features much of the same.
Room for Love is my debut novel, and although the Avalon Inn and the people who inhabit it are all fictional, there are a few real world moments that shine through. The ancient Welsh dresser that houses the Avalon’s china is actually my grandparents’ dresser, which now lives in my kitchen. And Grandma really did work in a donut dugout during the war... I talk some more about the inspiration behind the Avalon on my website.
My next novel, An A to Z of Love, (Lyrical Press, July 2012) is set near the Avalon Inn in the seaside town of Aberarian. In Welsh, aber means ‘mouth of the river’ and arian means ‘silver’ or ‘money.’ Which, incidentally, is just what the town is lacking, and needs, urgently… For details about Aberarian, and how my heroine Mia plans to save it, check out the Books page at www.SophiePembroke.com.
