Stephanie is the author of The Cendrillon Cycle: The Battle of Castle Nebula, A Cinder's Tale (published in the internationally best-selling Five Glass Slippers anthology), and The Star Bell.Stephanie enjoys reading books and climbing trees (simultaneously, whenever possible). If forced to choose her favorite books, she would pick Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, and Dune by Frank Herbert. All three are desert-island novels: long enough to keep her happy for a good while, and heavy enough to kill small animals with, if she were hungry. Stephanie adores the cold and the snow, but lives in North Carolina anyway with her incomparable husband. She enjoys archery, hiking, canoeing, and exploring with friends.
