Hello! I’m Steph, an introverted boy mom of two from Western New York. I have many random interests, but no matter what I’m doing, I would almost always rather be reading.
I’ve been a reader and writer all my life. I’ve also always loved learning. I have a Bachelor's degree in English Literature, as well as a Masters in Library Science. After a long career as a public librarian, I needed a change and better work life balance. I’m currently living that cubicle life working in public health, and have found that it suits me well.
As a major introvert, I very much enjoy my quiet and alone time. I’m not the best at socializing, deal with anxiety, and am a little bit awkward. Most of my spare time is spent reading, but some other things I love include: country music, chocolate, animals, theater, true crime, reality TV, horror, and all things Halloween. I live for the fall and wish it was October all year round. I’m also obsessed with antiques, primitives, and decorating. My ultimate dream is to someday own an old farmhouse with a huge wraparound porch out in the country; I crave a simpler, slower life.
