About Me
Hello, my name is Steph. I’ve been writing and publishing since 1988 and I’ve been in the games industry since 1996. I wrote a little bit more on the About Me page. This is my sometimes-updated website. Enjoy.

It felt like climbing out of a grave in winter.
Little less than 900 words. So far: 5436 words How it’s going: Jake is enjoying the morning. Where it’s going: Kate using the internets. Where it’s been: Birds and sleep. Item(s) of note: Browser-based spell-checkers don’t like the word “corvine”, but are okay with lupine and bovine. Also: crow feeding habits. Not much to say.… Continue reading
