Stephanie Dial is a short story writer who feels fortunate to have had a mom who fostered the love of reading in her. As an adult she decided to try writing the stories that kept her company in her mind and in doing discovered more about the written word to love. Some of Stephanie’s most favorite authors are Francine Rivers, Ayn Rand, Issac Asimov, Stephen King, and Nora Roberts. She credits “an unfortunately fortunate happenstance” that left her a quadriplegic for much of her inspiration.
