Stephanie has been creating stories in her head since she was a teenager. Sometimes her heroines have an edgier persona to them and sometimes they are of a softer essence. But all the time, her heroines are like real women, just trying to make a living and keep on going no matter what challenges life brings.

Books and writing are her biggest passions and she hopes to open your imagination to the unknown between the pages of her books.
