StephRose1201

Pen Name: Stephanie Rose

Username: StephRose1201

Is your pen name your legal name? If no, then how did you make up one?

It's actually part of my legal name, I omitted my last name.

How many books have you published till date?

None outside of Wattpad, though I am in the process of self-publishing one of mine!

What are your future projects?

Self-publishing my first book, revising my Historical-Fiction/Fantasy series, editing my new Paranormal/Horror series, and continuing all planned sequels, prequels, & spin-offs for all series!

What is writing to you?

Honestly? This'll come off cliche & overused, but... everything. It is truly everything. It's my relief for anxiety, my therapist for depression, my best friend, my space, my air, my peace... everything.

Is being an author, your long time dream or a hidden passion you found out later?

Hmm... well, I've been writing since I could write, honestly, but I don't think I realized it was my true calling until my mid-twenties, and more seriously in the past five years or so.

What genre books you like to work on?

I enjoy writing Paranormal and Historical Fiction/Fantasy most. I dabble in Science-Fiction, though I'm not great at it, and in the near-future I'd love to try some straight Fantasy!

If we challenge you to write a book of another genre we suggest, then would you take it up?

Eh, depends on the genre. I have a few I'll never write in, no matter what. If it's Humor or Mystery or ChickLit or Romance I'm happy to try, though! Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy.

Then we would like to read a Mafia Paranormal Romance genre book from you soon.

Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy. What do you think are the charms of writing fiction/non fictional books?

I write fiction, and honestly... I just love getting out of this world and transporting myself & my readers elsewhere. Whether it be to the past, to the future, or to a revised version of the present, I love love love traveling in my stories!

What is the most embarrassing situation that you have ever been through?

OOF, well, for those who don't know me... I'm a klutz. Enough said.

One craziest thing you have ever done?

Probably move across the world. I've moved a lot as a kid, between London, England & Ohio & then France... but the move from France to the west-coast of the US was my choice, and a huge one.

There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but have no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement. HELLO, new author. YES, you, published or not, you ARE an author! Never give up. Keep polishing your craft. Accept feedback and use it as you see fit. Ask for feedback. Write, write, write. Read! A lot! Have a notebook with you at all times OR easy access to a notepad on your phone. Don't worry about perfection, especially in a first draft; just spit it all out and perfect it later. Join book clubs and enter contests to get advice and find like-minded writers. Oh, have I reminded you to write? WRITE.

Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?

HA! Funny enough, I used to try those when I was little. I LOVED Archie comics and constantly tried to mimic them. Sadly, my drawing skills... not acceptable. I'd probably never write comics but I do enjoy them!
