The REAL Sophia Holloway, author of classic Regency novels with @AllisonandBusby. An imposter account, using images from Amazon, began April 2025. Ignore.
Today is publication day for #AnIndependentWoman, published by @AllisonandBusby, which means a new Classic ( Heyerite) Regency in time for Christmas. Louisa, Lady Dembleby, vows never to wed again after an awful and loveless marriage, but minds can change.
@RegencySophia Thanks to X providing the very useful tool to see where an account is based, it is now clear the fake Sophia Holloway account, using the @AllisonandBusby banner from my Amazon page, and the photo from my other genre, is based in Nigeria, off an Android app. Avoid
Please be aware, I do not contact other authors 'cold', suggesting mutual promotion etc. Any account purporting to be me that does so is an imposter/fake and will not be one that is followed by my publisher @allisonandbusby.
I am delighted to show off the cover of 'An Independent Woman', which is being published by @AllisonandBusby on 4th December, in time for Christmas. Covers are there to attract but not give the game away. I hope you will create Barkby and Louisa for yourselves from my words.
💕Exciting news: a new Regency romance from Sophia Holloway is coming soon! Stay tuned here or via @RegencySophia

I deactivated my account earlier this year, with no new classic Regencies on the agenda, but there will be a new paperback out by Christmas. In the meantime, a fake Sophia Holloway, claiming to be me, the author of Regency novels and mediaeval murder mysteries, is on X.
