I fell in love with Pride & Prejudice
when I read it in high school. Something about that time – the courtly manners
of society, the clothing, and so many other things. Don’t get me a wrong, I’m a
modern girl and wouldn’t last a day without my modern conveniences, but I can
still fantasize about that time period.
My husband
is my inspiration for Mr. Darcy & Colonel Fitzwilliam (when the good
colonel appears in one of my books). My husband has the manners of Darcy but
has been a military man like the colonel – so I got both in one man.

Sophie, whether with Kernstock
or Bellabone pen name, is from the land of thousands of lakes, home of
Santa Claus, and technology giant Nokia, also known as Finland. At age 24 she
was bitten by the publishing bug in her native tongue. The bug bit so fiercly
that she made her mission to publish all her future stories to wider audience
just year after. That she did, and now at 25 her first book written in English
is in preorder.
Born
and rased with finnish sisu, and beaten in shape with sauna birch leaf brooms,
Sophie writes Fantasy and Horror. No genre will be safe from her vigilant and
witty writing style though. She will be providing all kinds of stories from
short and sweet to long and gritty. None with romantic sub plot though. She
focuses on platonic friendships, epic battles beyond tonsil fencing, and the
endless ideas leading to world beyond imagination.
In
short, her muse is obiviously in drugs and needs intervention.
Soon
she’ll also add Sci-Fi/Dystopian into her fresh list of books and invites in
new pen name to the Sophiesphere circle of things.

Charlene Johnson is a Waynesburg,
Pennsylvania native. She went to Waynesburg High School and graduated Cum Laude
from Waynesburg College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts. Currently
lives in Sacramento, California where she spent the last 33 years working at
Northrop Grumman.
Books have always been her passion. She started
reading at an early age and progressed to full-length books by age nine. The
first supernatural book series she read was Dark Shadows, and it sparked her
interest in all things paranormal, with a spicy touch of romance mixed in for
good measure. She also started writing poetry in grade school and continues to
do so today.
Being an avid reader, the consummate daydreamer and
an incurable romantic with a Cinderella complex, she started creating her own
characters and story lines because she realized she had her own stories to
tell.
She is married to John, who believes she can do
anything. She has a son, Ty; a daughter, Danika; and four beautiful
grandchildren, Aries, Victoria, Maya, and Tobias.
Besides reading and writing, she also enjoys
photography, travel, music, and great movies.
