My sister and I don't say "I love you"
Instead, we utilize each other to further our personal and professional success and I think that's beautiful 😂

The blog post may be a week late, but I sure did need a break. I may or may not have burned out again... 🫠

Better Late Than Never: My August 2025 Writing Update - Stephanie Anne, Horror Author

As I write this, I’ve just about finished packing for Ottawa Comiccon. And I’m also preppeing for next weekend’s dReadCon. And I’m now dealing with personal issues in addition to […]

Dear PDF reader,
If I'm beta reading for another author THE LAST THING I WANT is an AI summary of the document. First of all, even if it wasn't an entire novel, I don't need/want the computer to read a document for me. Second, how can I trust a summary like that is even accurate? Third, don't even get me started on the environmental/ethical concerns. Seriously, I just want to turn that garbage off - tech people, please make me an off button.
I am so sick of dealing ignorant boomers who think their personal experiences are THE ONLY possible life experiences. That’s now 3 in one week who have made me want to smash my head into a wall because of their selfishness and small mindedness 🤦
It's official! "Modern Hauntings" has been accepted as part of Kobo's September Weekend Sale this year 🎉 If you're looking to squeeze in a little more summer during the long weekend, you're in luck! The eBook is only $4.99 from August 29th to September 2nd. Sure, a long weekend read is a great way to get the most out of the last days of summer, but reading this particular book is a great way to get spooky season officially started 🍂🎃🍂

It’s so frustrating that I’ve been published for over 4 years and there are STILL people in my life who think my workday is just sitting around daydreaming. Being self published I have so much more work to do than “just writing”. I’m busy every day and don’t have the time or energy to drop everything to solve people’s problems/babysit their kids/hang out/etc. during my work hours.
nothing better than reading while a cat purrs at full volume nearby 😻

I'm absolutely loosing my sh*t (in the best way possible). When I sent "GOATS" out to beta readers I thought my weird, experimental little novella wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea and the first DNF confirmed my suspicions. But as beta feedback starts to trickle in I am AMAZED at how much readers and fellow authors are loving this f*cked up story! Maybe more people will enjoy this one than I originally thought.

The Book Purge raised $395 for OSCatR at Capital Pride. That's enough for a spay, neuter & more! 2025 fundraising total: $4,155🎉THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by to donate, chat adoption & share cat pics. Full transparency: I usually tag the event but the fact that the event turned off comments on their posts is very telling. Pride is a Protest🌈🍉

With new followers and a recent influx of people asking which stores carry my books, I figured now would be a good time for a reminder. I will note that as Modern Hauntings is not yet available to the public, you can't get that one in stores (yet) but I'm already working on having it infiltrate the Ottawa area, so stay tuned for updates 😈
