Wait, you were actually interested in the life of Stephanie Void? Well then…

• I’m 27 years old.
• I’ve been writing novels since I was 14. I write fantasy and science fiction.
• I enjoy exploring new places, painting, singing, coffee, tea, and energy drinks.
• I can do a really accurate Gollum voice.
• I’m really easy to amuse.
• I’m the oldest of four siblings.
• I’m a black belt and teacher of Shindoryu Aikijutsu; people have to call me “Kohai” (junior assistant instructor) during practice.
• I’m a Louisiana native and I now live near Boston.
• My siblings and I are HUGE Lord of the Rings fans; we filmed a humorous (to us) parody of the movies with a camcorder when I was a teenager.
• I was homeschooled for 8 years.
• I love music with a passion, and my favorite kind is metal. I think it combines the excitement of rock with the beautiful dark soul of classical music.
• During high school, I lived in a world dominated heavily by my own imagination.
• I used to have an obsession with sailing ships and the British Navy of the 1800s. Loved Horatio Hornblower and the Master and Commander series.
• I like cats but am sooo allergic to them.
• I graduated college magna cum laude while wearing combat boots.
• I can’t wait for Brandon Sanderson to finish the Wheel of Time series so I can read it.
• Guillermo del Toro is my favorite director of movies. He did Hellboy, Hellboy 2, and my favorite, Pan’s Labyrinth.
• I see colors in letters and words; I taste flavors in songs. It’s called synesthesia.
• I love hearing from readers. It makes me happy inside.
