Stephanie Churchill

Biography

I am a wife, mother, and a recovering paralegal who never in a bazillion years dreamed of becoming a writer. Why? Because only writers become writers. Don’t you need to be initiated and learn a secret handshake? I had no such credentials. But when a very well-respected author of New York Times best-selling books casually asked me "Have you ever thought about writing?" I took the hint. It’s pretty hard to ignore such a nudge.

My other hobbies include tea and coffee drinking, knitting, armchair traveling while dreaming of doing the real thing, watercolor painting, and spending time with my husband and kids. The rest of my time is spent trying to survive the murderous intentions of Minnesota's weather.

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Yes! I must have been about 6 or 7 years old, and we were given a school assignment to write a short story. My story involved a child (me) who slept nervously in a dark bedroom, keeping all arms and legs fully encased in tightly drawn covers. The door cracked open, light spilled into the room, and a MONSTER appeared! Turns out it was only my dad. It was that story which started my writing career. At least in the opinion of my earliest fan... my mother.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I was actually writing a different book, had just finished the rough draft of it. The story was wonderful, the plot very intricate, but something wasn't right. I didn't love the voice or tone of the book. It was then that I decided it might be fun to try my hand at a first-person approach. I had a vision of a girl dodging a city guard who had caught her stealing an apple. The girl was a sharp wit and had an attitude that was a little edgy. Once I got going, I fell in love and had to find out what happened next. Eventually her story emerged, growing ever-more complicated as time went on.
