Stephanie is a full-time author who has been an avid reader since she was a kid (she even won the blue ribbon at her town library for reading the most books over the summer). She wrote her first book when she was ten, but abandoned that fledgling career when people started asking to read it. Fortunately, she now delights in people reading her work, and loves to hear from readers.

Some of her favorite authors are Lisa Kleypas, Dick Francis, and Julie Garwood, but the list goes on and on.

In her spare time, Stephanie loves to play tennis, take her rescue dog for walks in the woods, and to make up stories about the people she sees on the street with her daughter. Yes, the author's imagination is always at work.
