Stephanie lives and writes in bucolic New Hampshire with her family, her cat and her fun-loving friends. Besides writing, which takes up a big chunk of time, and going to the gym sporadically, which takes a very small chunk of time, Stephanie belongs to a very social book club, loves to cook, tries to crochet and adores chocolate covered potato chips (yes, she should spend more time at the gym).
Formerly a 9 to fiver working in downtown Boston, she’s thrown her stylish suits and fancy heels in a closet and now hangs out in UConn t-shirts, jeans and sneakers.
“If I could come back in another life as anything I wanted, I’d be a regency era heroine.” (Not surprisingly) Regency romances are her favorite secret reads.
