About The Author

Stephenie is a native of Maryland and grew up in a small southern town. Her family was small. She lived with her mom, her aunt and Uncle Jimmy beside her, her grandma beside them, and her other aunt and uncle across the street. Her Uncle Jimmy, may he rest in peace, was a large influence in her life. He was always there for her, and he is the one who helped make her the person she is today. She did normal childhood things, played sports, went to the movies, hung out with friends, and read books. She likes apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. Her favorite movie is Mad Max Fury Road. This book started as a dream that she had for a week straight. It wouldn’t go past a certain point or stop. Someone told her that if she wrote it down, maybe the dream would stop or at least move past the usual stopping point. And she did. She started writing, and once she got to the stopping point in the dream, it finally continued on. She hopes you enjoy this book as much as she enjoyed writing it.
