Stephanie Jefferson was born bright, brown, and beautiful on July 21st in Los Angeles, CA. She fell in love with words and story at a very early age and read everything she could get her hands on, from cereal boxes to encyclopedia. Her desire to hear everybody's story probably lead to her becoming a licensed psychologist.

As a psychologist, Stephanie's specialty of practice was children and adolescents. She believes they share the very best stories and use the perfect word to tell them. When she began writing, this select group became her intended audience. Stephanie's explanation is that children and adolescents have the greatest imaginations and share her devotion to a story well told.
