Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian (born August 24, 1961 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France) is a French writer and author of young adult fantasy books, including the popular Tara Duncan series. [1] Like in most of the countries which are not kingdom anymore (Armenia became a regency driven by the Ottoman (Turkey) on the 14th century), she carries the courtesy title HRH Princess Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian.
Sophie Audouin-Mamikonian was born in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France and grew up in the Basque Country where she drew the tales and legends that fuel her imagination. [1] She is married with two daughters, Diane and Marine. [1] She holds a M.A. in diplomacy and strategy. She currently divides her time between family and writing. She is a contributor to Children's Health Fund Children's Health Fund, founded by Paul Simon and Dr. Irwin Redlener and the Princess SAM Foundation for Armenia. She currently lives in Paris.
Sophie's first writing attempts were sketches of fantasy fiction. She wrote the fantasy novel series Tara Duncan between 1987 and 1990, but only found a publisher in 2003, when magic in books became the trend due to the success of Harry Potter. [1]
Sophie has been honored with the Medal of Legion d'Honneur, and the Medal Of Art et Lettres.
Spinoff Prequel: 450 years ago Beauty's Daughter
The book series has been loosely adapted into a 26-episode animated TV series that is on the Kabillion Cable TV network, produced by Moonscoop, Disney, and M6 and bought by 20 broadcasters. Now the animated series is available on Amazon VOD. Unfortunately it was cancelled before any subsequent seasons could be made to follow the rest of the fourteen books. Very dissatisfied with this Moonscoop studios' mediocre adaptation, Sophie decided to create her own production company "Princess Sam Entertainment Group". PSEG produced a new animated series, through its subsidiary, Princess Sam Pictures, with a film quality, which is very unusual for an animated series, from the volume one of Tara Duncan: The Spellbinders. Tara Duncan and the Spellbinders, the brand new CGI 3D animated series, immediately met with the success the first one didn't have, as every episode has been produced as a small movie. The new series has been bought by: the Walt Disney Company France, Belgium, Japan and Russia, Gulli in France, Di Agostini and RAI in Italy, RTBF in Belgium, RTS in Switzerland, MBC in Middle East, Nelonen in Norway, Tele Quebec in Canada, RTE in Ireland, SIC K in Portugal, Noga in Israel, TVNZ in New Zealand, etc.
