Steph started reading at a very young age and quickly fell in love with stories and storytelling.

The 'Teenager's Guide' series, which consists of three poetry collections, were hugely cathartic to write, and she hopes they're just as cathartic to read.

The first is my fourth poetry collection and the first collection outside the 'Teenager's Guide' series. The collection, titled 'Dear Dad' will take a look at moving on from loss and how the events of years gone by shape who we are today.
I'm also working on my first full length novel 'Til Death Do Us Part'. This will be a crime novel - a genre I've read and loved for years - and will focus on a mysterious case which sees a number of high profile witnesses die in strange circumstances. (less)

Update for 2020

Seeing as I haven't given a bookdate in a while, there's quite a lot for me to let you all know. First of all - I got engaged back in Spring last year - hence my lack of book work. Wedding planning has somewhat taken over my life. However, 2019 still brought some book success as I finally manage to get Dear Dad published as both an e-book and paperback. I honestly can't thank you enough for all th Read more of this blog post »

“Actually, the problem is that I can’t lose my mind,” I said. “It’s inescapable.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

John Green
“We always say we are beneath the stars. We aren't, of course—there is no up or down, and anyway the stars surround us. But we say we are beneath them, which is nice. So often English glorifies the human—we are whos, other animals are that—but English puts us beneath the stars, at least.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

John Green
“I wanted to tell her that I was getting better, because that was supposed to be the narrative of illness: It was a hurdle you jumped over, or a battle you won. Illness is a story told in the past tense.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

John Green
“Every loss is unprecedented. You can’t ever know someone else’s hurt, not really—just like touching someone else's body isn’t the same as having someone else’s body.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down
