Stephanie Oneilstraight was raised on a farm in Connecticut with her mother, grandparents, and two older sisters. She started writing in middle school and realized that she was truly passionate about creating worlds with words, taking people on adventures while never having to get into a car. She began writing her first full-length novel during her junior year of high school and completed it just before graduating. She received the Mattie F. Land Prize for creative writing while dancing on a daily basis with Gwen Martins and the Colors of Life, performing to hits by Michael and Janet Jackson.

She went on to marry a U.S. Navy submariner at 21 years old and the two welcomed their first daughter into the world a year later. Stephanie continued perfecting her writing skills and obtained first her Bachelor’s then Master’s degrees in English and Creative Writing with specification in Fiction.

Over the years, she has written sixteen novels and has published three entitled “Always Be Mine”, “What You’ve Done to Me”, and “If You Only Knew Part 1 and 2”. She is currently working on multiple projects and hopes to release a new book this coming fall!
