Stephanie Cottrell Bryant

I was born and raised in a Chicago suburb, but moved to California during college and stayed for 15 years. That's what happens to transplanted species in California: we take root and thrive!

I helped support myself in college by doing web design in the early days of the public Internet. When I graduated, I looked for employment in technical writing or web design, and landed work in both fields. I've been a technical writer for 9 years.

In 2002, I wrote my first novel, by participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). This was a terrific experience and got me back into writing fiction. I have several works in progress, plus one novel in revision (it's complete, but needs to be cleaned up now). With any luck, perhaps I will end up actually publishing some of my fiction.

In the meantime, one of my biggest successes as an author is Videoblogging for Dummies. This is a fun technology, and I think you'll enjoy it.

A couple of years ago, I hit out on the road with my husband, traveled all over the US, and finally landed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where we now live. While on the road, I started Handknit Heroes, a comic book for knitters, a fun superhero comic book featuring a knitting pattern in every issue.

Since arriving in Las Vegas, I've started working on my newest project, tabletop game design, with my role playing game, Threadbare, due out in 2017.
