Sophie Clark likes to say she writes fantasy featuring wounded girls with sharp edges and charming boys who fall for them anyway, sinister mysteries, twisted gods, and other unholy things.

She holds a masters degree in international relations from the University of Melbourne, and worked for the Australian Senate before leaving politics for good. When not writing, she is almost invariably reading; when not reading, she’s lavishing affection on her border collie, Indy.

You can find her on instagram and (less frequently) twitter @thesophclark.

“You live to torment me.”
“You, personally,” she said waspishly.
He laughed more, tears springing to his eyes. “Well fuck my life, I guess.”
Sophie Clark, Cruel Is the Light

“Jules drank in the large type of the headline: ROME CRIES BLOOD. He smirked slightly. The headline was not about the war. No doubt some exorcist had left a trail of carnage again. It happened a lot. Demons didn’t go down easy.
He knew that better than most.”
Sophie Clark, Cruel Is the Light
