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.

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.

Very dissatisfied with this Moonscoop studios' mediocre adaptation, Sophie decided to create her own production company "Princess Sam Entertainment Group".

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.
