About Me: YA author and eternal optimist. I like new media, magic, cyborgs, alternate dimensions, and cookies. You can call me Steph. I write a lot of short fiction, which usually ends up here. My current novel project is a YA steampunk involving murder, mystery, mayhem, tragedy, glass eyes, synthetic hearts, masquerades, and kissing. Not in that order. Speculative fiction is my drug of choice. You'll find a lot of urban fantasy, science fiction, and just plain weird here.

Favorite Authors: J.K. Rowling, Madeline L'Engle, Bruce Coville, Neil Gaiman, Christopher Moore, John Green, Markus Zusak, Barry Hughart, Gayle Forman, Justine Larbalestier, Laurie Halse Anderson, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip Pullman

Favorite place to read: Curled up on my couch or in my papasan with a cat.

I can't live without: Air.

If I could be any literary character, I would be: George from Nancy Drew. She's spunky.
