Stephanie Golightly is a true California girl: she was born there and has lived in north, south, and central California (which are each their own worlds). But these days, she lives in San Diego with her husband and young son. In addition to being an avid reader, Stephanie has been writing her own stories, poetry, and more since as long as she can remember. Any way to escape reality is a good thing, right? It took her a little while to realize that she didn’t have the patience or discipline to finish a novel, so now she is focusing on short stories and novellas. Several of these are now available on Amazon, both as individual works and part of the Emerald Cove Press anthologies. Her favorite genres are fantasy, romance, and mystery, and her writing often draws from elements of each of those genres, though romance tends to be the primary theme. Her stories tend to vary from tame to racy, so if you’re avoiding one end of the spectrum, you might want to use caution when reading.
