Born and raised in the Midwest, Stephanie's love for reading began in elementary school thanks to BOOK IT and free pizza (IYKYK). She grew up reading everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Shakespeare, and majored in English in college (plus two other majors because she's an overachiever).
After spending 20 years as a marketing leader and CEO, she decided to pursue her true passion: writing. Her debut romance novel, Practically Perfect, was released in March 2026.
She's happily married to her husband of 20+ years and a mom to four kids and three dogs.
