Stephanie was born in Melbourne, Australia, where she grew up with the determination to become a famous actress. She had always had a love of books, which she inherited from both her parents, and began writing from the age of 10. The dream to become an actress quickly changed to the dream of becoming a writer, and most of her days at school during classes were spent scribbling notes and daydreaming.It was at 15 where she began writing her now first published novel SAGE - The Power Within, drawing ideas from the multitude of stories she had filed away, as well as the people, places and concepts around her.Stephanie studied a course in professional writing and editing once she finished high… school, and learnt to dabble in areas of writing outside fiction, but her passion stays with writing stories that can let the reader's imagination run wild -- as well as her own.
