Sharie Kohler (Sophie Jordan)

Sharie Kohler/Sophie Jordan took her adolescent daydreaming one step further and penned her first historical romance in the back of her high school Spanish class — much to the entertainment of her fellow classmates. Needless to say, that dog-eared spiral got more attention than the teacher. In 2005, she sold the first manuscript she wrote to Avon in a multi-book contract. A former high school English teacher, Sophie/Sharie writes historical romances for Avon and contemporary paranormal romances for Pocket. When she’s not sweating deadlines, she divides her time between inventing what she likes to call culinary masterpieces — her husband and daughter won’t always agree — and visiting her family’s pecan ranch in the Texas Hill Country.
