Sophie Jordan, writing under the pseudonym Sharie Kohler, ventured into the world of literature by transforming her adolescent daydreams into written form during her high school Spanish classes. Her passion for storytelling led her to pursue degrees in English and History.

After a brief exploration of law school, Sophie realized that case law failed to capture her interest as much as literature did. Deciding to share her love for stories, she took on the role of an English teacher, fostering a love for Antigone among high school students. However, with the birth of her first child, she chose to resign and focus on her long-standing ambition of becoming a writer.

In less than three years, Sophie Jordan's debut novel, Once Upon A Wedding Night, emerged as a nominee for the 2006 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best First Historical. Her journey in the literary world began with this significant achievement, marking the start of her career as a celebrated author.
