Stephanie Doering-known to many as Steph or Stephanie-was born and raised in Connecticut and now calls North Carolina home, where she lives with her husband and three teenage children. When she's not crafting captivating stories, you can find her curled up in her favorite chair, lost in the pages of a great book. A passionate writer and avid reader, Stephanie thrives in the realms of romance, erotic & BDSM fiction, and paranormal romance, weaving tales that are both compelling and deeply engaging. Her ultimate goal as a storyteller is to craft characters so vivid and immersive that readers find themselves completely lost in their world-feeling their emotions, living their journeys, and experiencing their passions.
