Goodreads asked Stephanie Baumgartner:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Stephanie Baumgartner I think what I love most about being a writer is that I get to put my interests to good use. My fascination with WWII is not just a quirky enthusiasm anymore; it's the driving force for most of my stories. I also love creating real people in my characters; imperfect characters that are relatable in some way to my readers. I love telling their stories, whether it be as a cautionary tale, or as tales of redemption. I also love taking elements of my own life and experiences and incorporating them into my stories and my characters. I have found it both therapeutic and validating in many ways :)
