Meet Sophie Davies

Hi! I'm so glad you stopped by, I'm Sophie and I write cosy romance books that I hope will bring you the same joy I feel when writing them.

I've been posting about my writing journey on my TikTok page for the last three years, and I'm so excited to say that my debut book, Head Over Skis, will be published in September 2026!

Information regarding where you can pre-order it, and anything to do with events and extra content can be found here, so feel free to take a look, and if you do read it, I really hope you enjoy it.

Love,

Signing is SO fun! Today I thought I’d start signing these adorable bookplates that I’ll be sending out to bookstores where I can’t sign in person, so they can stick them into copies to make them signed.
With that in mind… if you’re a bookseller and you’d like any - ping me a message! 💗🎿

I have bookmarks!!
These beauties arrived in the post this week and I can’t stop looking at them 🥰.
Can’t wait to start sending these out and using them at events 🤭.

IT’S HERE!! ❄️
I am so excited to share with you all the cover for my debut romance book, HEAD OVER SKIS, which is publishing in September 2026.
The cover was designed by the incredible illustrator Carrie May, who has also designed covers for the likes of Cathy Bramley and Veronica Henry.
It captures all the wintery coziness this book is full of, and I hope you love it as much as I do.
The book is available to pre-order now, so do check it out on Waterstones, Amazon, or ask at your local indie.

The time has come… (almost 🤭). See you guys at 5pm ❄️💙🎿

Now that my book is announced and up for pre-order on a ton of websites (aah!!), I thought I’d share this guide to how best you can support the book, lots of which are free!
Of course, pre-ordering the book is amazing, but if you aren’t able to do that, things like adding the book on Goodreads, requesting it from your local library, and engaging on my socials are also all huge helps and can be done quickly and for free.
For little debut authors like me, any and all support can make a big difference in setting a book up for success, so if you are able to do any of these, it’s greatly appreciated ❤️.

Love, Sophie x

I don’t know what to say, except OMG I’M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR THIS YEAR! 🥺📚
More details to come as we approach publication day in September (crazy soon!!), but I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been a part of making this happen.
To my agent Natalie, my editor Pauli, everyone at Canelo who I’m so excited to work with, all the people who beta-read this book for me, the friends who have written with me in cafes, my family and my boyfriend who have been so supportive… the list goes on.
Here to a year filled with love, snow, and all things cosy.

Love, Sophie x

Sorryyyy but you’re just going to have to wait until tomorrow (it’s worth it I promise 👀🤗) ❤️

Hi everyone!
I’ve been a little quiet over here recently, and that’s because in December, I moved house!! It’s been so so wonderful, and a bit of a whirlwind with unpacking, then hosting my family for Christmas, then our friends for new years, so now I’m finally returning to normal schedules.
BUT, despite all the craziness, I have managed to keep up writing my fourth book, and today I hit the 30k milestone 🥳!
I am so excited to hit the halfway point soon and see how the second half of the book takes shape. There’s a lot that’s still unknown in my head, but that’s one of the joys of writing, so we’ll see how it goes over the next few weeks, and I’ll keep you all posted ❤️.
I hope you all had a merry Christmas and 2026 is treating you well, speak soon.

The last few years have been a whirlwind when it comes to writing, I feel like I’ve blinked and suddenly I’m on my FOURTH book?!
So I thought I’d give you a quick look at the different settings for each, with the help of some photos from my pinboards 🥰

#romancebook #romanceauthor #authorsoninstagram #romancetropes

Sounds like a recipe for a very eventful holiday… 👀
The two-week timeline of this book was so fun to write, throwing you straight in with a group of characters who’ve know each other for years, but find themselves in a new gorgeous wintery setting, with lots of new people to meet along the way. ❄️🗻🎿

Although my instagram is fairly new, I’ve been posting for a long time over on TikTok, so I thought I’d share all the places you can find me - my linktree is in my bio to make it super easy, and I’d really appreciate the support on whichever platforms you use ❤️

We are fully in cosy season now, so I wanted to share a little bit about the vibe of my skiing rom-com, think B.K. Borison meets Chalet Girl, with some photos from my mood board ✨❄��️
This book was so fun to write, and I can’t wait to share some more details with you!

#romancebook #romcombooks #winterromance #cosyromance #christmasreads

I can’t wait to share this journey with you all. Some of you have been following along since I wrote my first book (I’m now on my fourth 😱), and there’s so much to tell you, so stick around, and thanks for being here ❤️.

Head Over Skis For You

Head Over Skis

Out 3rd September 2026

A spicy, gorgeous swoon-worthy winter rom-com for fans of Hannah Grace, Catherine Walsh and Lindsey Kelk

One ex. One ski-instructor. And one holiday that's about to go off-piste...

The trip finally made it out of the group chat! Lottie and her friends have been planning – and saving – for their ski trip for ages and everything is going to be perfect. Until it isn’t.

After her boyfriend, Adam, cheats on her, Lottie can’t think of anything worse than being stuck on the slopes with him. The night before the trip Lottie decides to do something crazy to distract herself from thinking about Adam. A hot hookup with someone she’ll never have to see again seems like just the solution.

Except her one-night stand turns out to be her ski instructor, Rory. Adam is oblivious, Rory is interested, and Lottie is left asking not only if she should forgive Adam, but what is love, actually?

Quotes

'Since I began writing this book, my dream was always that one day it would find its way into the hands of readers, and now thanks to Pauli and the wonderful team at Canelo, that dream is coming true! Pauli's love for the characters and her understanding of the warmth and joy I want the story to bring to readers makes me so glad it's found a home with her at Canelo. I couldn't be more excited that we'll be bringing Lottie, Rory, and the rest of the loveable cast of characters from Head Over Skis into the world. I hope you love it!'

Sophie Davies - author

'Sophie’s novel will have you reaching for a hot cider, whatever the weather! I adored the collection of both sweet and hilarious moments throughout the book. Readers everywhere will want Rory as their book boyfriend; Sophie’s compelling prose and wit bring characters to life and I am thrilled to be working with her'

Pauli Roos - commissioning editor
