Effie Soumelidis

“Coffee, books, Greece, and swoon-worthy heroes-what else do you need?”

I love to travel and I am obsessed with airports

My favourite place in all the world-Palaia Fokea, Athens.

“I’ve always been captivated by the shadows, the stories that linger long after the last page is turned. You can expect morally complex characters, high stakes, and plenty of twists in every book. And if you catch me quoting Shakespeare, don’t be surprised—I’m obsessed with the Bard. His exploration of love, tragedy, and the human condition has a huge influence on my writing.”

Effie is based in the North of England, where she lives with her husband of 25+ years and two children. When not writing, you can usually find her buying more books to add to her never-ending TBR list or booking holidays to Greece to visit her family.

Effie loves taking pictures of old buildings, binge-watching Netflix, and enjoying a quiet moment at Starbucks (unless the kids tag along!)
