I never set out to be an author for fame or fortune. Writing, for me, has always been about capturing the way I’ve experienced life—the struggles, the small victories, the moments that shape us in ways we don’t always recognize at the time. I grew up on the upper end of poor, and some years, my family barely reached the low middle class. As the youngest of six kids and the quiet observer in a loud household, I learned early on that stories are powerful. They hold our pain, our resilience, and our hope. That understanding has shaped everything I write. “The Wounds That Endure” explores the scars—both seen and unseen—that we carry with us. “A Breath of Rain” speaks to finding solace in unexpected places. “Annette: A Dream Reborn” follows a young girl who, like me, refuses to let her circumstances define her. Even my flash fiction is rooted in the idea that stories, no matter how short, can leave a lasting impact. And my funeral planning manuals? They come from a place of love—because loss is one of life’s hardest realities, and I believe no family should have to navigate it without guidance. At my core, I’m just a person who loves words. I’ve always been a deep thinker, curious about the world and the people in it. I lead my family, cherish my books, and adore my French bulldog, Hazel. My hope is that through my writing, readers will see glimpses of their own lives—moments of struggle, moments of beauty, and most of all, the quiet strength that keeps us moving forward. And this is just the beginning. I plan to keep writing, sharing stories that reflect real life in all its complexity. If something in my work speaks to you, I hope you’ll stick with me for the journey. There are so many more stories to tell, and I’d love to have you along for the ride. Stephanie
