MENTOR BIO
Stephanie Rose is an award-winning indie/self-published author living on the west-coast with her energetic tuxedo kitten, Crowley, and her incredible and supportive boyfriend, Matt.
She's a multi-genre writer, but has found her preference in paranormal horror, mythology mystery, dramatic historical fiction, spicy/steamy romance, and colorful LGBTQ+ fantasy.
She gathers inspiration from everything: words, song lyrics, colors, current events, expressions, names, street names, TV shows, movies, household objects. Be careful—anything you show/say to her might be transformed into a story.
Aside from her self-published Greek mythology mystery books, Stephanie is also a writer & Creator for Wattpad. She's been active on the platform since 2014, with her ghosty paranormal novel Ghost Portal, which has since been rewritten & revised to better suit a 2023 audience. She's been slowly but steadily growing her audience, constantly providing new stories for her readers to feast on. Her historical fiction series, The Golden Universe (comprised of one main series and three spin-offs, currently) has earned her constant praise from readers around the world, and even a long-list placement in the 2018 Watty Awards (The Golden Flower), as well as a short-list placement in the 2021 Watty Awards (A Brazen Maiden). Three of her Golden novels are also in the Paid Program & on YONDER (The Golden Flower, The Golden Girl, and The Golden Duchess).
Stephanie is a world-traveler, and feels at home on an airplane or wandering through airports. She was born in London, England, where she lived until she was three. She then moved to Ohio for six years, and from there returned to Europe—to a Paris, France region where she lived until she was twenty-one. She later shifted her entire life to Nevada, where she's been residing since 2008. She speaks fluent French, and often infuses French terms or expressions in her novels, or gives her characters French backgrounds. Reach out to her if you need assistance with any French translation needs!
In her books, you'll mostly find romantic tension, explicit language, ghosts, mentions—or visions—of the afterlife, disturbing gory scenes, glorious eighteenth-century dresses of vivid colors, mouth-watering descriptions of food, and strong female characters. She's also a firm advocate for the LGBTQ+ community (being pansexual/demi-sexual herself) and has recently been writing more and more diverse characters that she hopes her readers can relate to.
When she's not writing—which is rare—she can be found reading (historical fiction, paranormal, epic fantasy, some romance, some sci-fi), listening to music, playing video games, binge-watching TV shows, venturing to the many festivals in her town, or going on spur-of-the-moment road trips with her boyfriend and his daughter. She day-dreams of the Eiffel Tower, her favorite place in the world, and overdoses on coffee while wishing to someday do nothing but write, write, write.
