In 2006, Stephanie was at a crossroads.

She quit her job and went on a three week vacation down under. When she came back, she
was at a loss. What to do now? She could go back into the work force and get a similar
job or she could start fresh. The opportunity to start something new was seductive. But
what should she do?

A friend asked about her hobbies, things she enjoyed doing. Well, she loved to read.

Her friend asked if she’d ever thought about writing. Not really. Not after a professor in
her creative writing class told her she was incapable of writing a short story.

Her friend talked her into National Novel Writing Month. She was able to finish her
story (in record time) and found that once opened, her imagination was unstoppable.
