Born in London to Greek Cypriot parents Soulla Christodoulou spent much of her childhood living carefree days full of family, school and friends. She was the first in her family to go to university and studied BA Hotel & Catering Management at Portsmouth University. Years later, after having a family of her own she studied again at Middlesex University and has a PGCE in Business Studies and an MA in Education.

Soulla is a Women’s Fiction author and wrote her first novel Broken Pieces of Tomorrow over a few months while working full time in secondary education and is a mother of three boys. She has since published a historical fiction novel set in 1950s Cyprus and England, The Summer Will Come, and a short story, Unlocked which was inspired by her travels to India in February 2018.

The Summer Will Come has been earmarked as a Book to Movie project and is also currently being translated into Greek.

She is a compassionate and empathetic supporter of young people. Her passion for teaching continues through private tuition of English Language and she also supports writers with mentoring and book editing and has recently set up a social media campaign promotion service for new authors.

She is active across a number of social media platforms and can be found at @soullasays on Instagram and @schristodoulou2 on Twitter. Her website is www.soulla-author.com.

Her writing has connected her with a charity in California which she is still very much involved in as a contributor of handwritten letters every month to support and give hope to women diagnosed with breast cancer. One of her letters has been featured in a book ‘Dear Friend’ which came out in September 2017.

When asked, she will tell you she has always, somewhere on a subconscious level, wanted to write and her life’s experiences both personal and professional have played a huge part in bringing her to where she was always meant to be; writing books and drinking lots of cinnamon and clove tea!

She also has a poetry collection, Sunshine after Rain, published on Amazon and has most recently released a romantic contemporary novel, Alexander and Maria, through The Conrad Press.

Currently writing her fourth novel set in Cyprus and London, she is hoping to attract a book publishing deal for this story too within the next year or so.
