Stephanie Patterson

I began my writing career at age three by designing my own alphabet using symbols to represent words. Thankfully school got me back on track with mainstream communication and I've has been creating stories ever since. Writing is my first love and I live to tell stories. My first romance, "Playing For Keeps," was published by Genesis Press under the pen name, Stephanie Salinas. "The Woman in Question," a contemporary romantic thriller, was published under my own name a couple of years later. I've just completed my first series, "Season of the Furies," with the release of book three, "A Ghost of the Rose." There are more stories to tell though, and I can't wait!

I'm a resident of northern Oregon and worked as a paralegal for a criminal defense attorney for many years. I've assisted on all sorts of criminal cases from petty theft to capital murder and murder for hire. When I'm not writing I practice and teach the ancient divination art of cartomancy - a fancy way of saying tarot reading. You can also find me as one of the St. Helens Dancing Witches for the Spirit of Halloweentown, a Halloween festival celebrating the filming in our town of the Disney movie, Halloweentown.

Also, I was honored to be named one of the winners of Dragonblade Publishings, "The Write Stuff," writing competition, and look forward to writing a novella for them in the first part of 2022.
