Author Bio 

As a teenager, Stacy was not incredibly popular or unpopular. She was one of that vast group of invisible, semi-geeky (i.e. normal) people. She wore braces. Twice. She did not make the cut for cheerleader.  She warmed the bench for her softball team. Which was probably just as well, since she liked the library better anyway.

Stacy has lived all over the United States.  Now officially a citizen of Red Sox Nation, Stacy will always have a soft spot for the Braves and the Brewers.

Even though she has now Grown Up, Stacy still feels pretty much like the semi-geeky teenager she used to be. Except when she writes. When she writes she feels beautiful and graceful.

	Now I have Stacy hair.
	Some days are better than others.
