There is an unspoken rule of being an author: "if you can't find the book you want to read, write it." That's exactly what Stephanie Storm did. Now, she prides herself on creating unique stories in action packed worlds full of strong female characters and inclusivity. Her books include plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat and a touch of romance too. With the stories being fast paced, she always tries to keep the books focused on being a quick and easy read. Now based in Amsterdam with her husband, Stephanie spends her days immersed in the world of technology at her day job. In her spare time, you can find her planning her next travel adventure, going to Barre classes and writing the next story in her very intense publishing schedule. 

Episode Highlights:

📖 How moving across continents shaped her mindset
 🔥 Her Titan Syndicate Series: The Rule of the Damned & The Clash of the Damned (coming 09/11/2025)
✍️ The benefits of hiring a book coach for indie authors
📝 Finding the balance between plotter and pantser writing styles
🚀 Marketing, imposter syndrome, and what it takes to succeed in indie publishing
