edit data

Stephanie Black has loved books since she was old enough to grab the pages, and has enjoyed creating make-believe adventures since she and her sisters were inventing long Barbie games filled with intrigue and danger or running around pretending to be detectives. She is a four-time Whitney Award winner for Best Mystery/Suspense novel.

Stephanie lives in California, in the Bay Area. She plays the violin in a community symphony (but never practices enough), enjoys homemade chocolate-chip cookies, and takes pictures of birds. Her favorite activity is spending time with her family, currently consisting of her husband, five kids, three kids-in-law, a cat, and three grandpets.

One of the things I love about the LDStorymakers Conference is the opportunity to meet new people. A few years back, I met author Kierstin Marquet, and had the opportunity to read part of her manuscript. Her novel has now been published--congrats, Kierstin! Here is some information about her book:
