Top 9 Facts About Stevie Jo
Get to know the author behind the magical Angel of Death book series!
Below are nine fun and interesting facts about me. Why nine and not ten? Because the number 9 is my lucky number. You can have that fact for free.
I wrote my first piece of creative writing at age 8. It was a play, and it's horrible and in need of serious editing, but I’ve been hooked on creative writing ever since. Even my bad writing is better than not writing at all.
I have a weird relationship with poetry wherein I dislike most of it in the traditionally written sense, but I’m trying to bridge that gap by writing poems of my own. Maybe you’ll get to read them someday.
I do have a favorite poem, though! “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson. I want it etched on my tombstone. And maybe tattooed on my body somehow...
Music is the poetry of my soul. I have dedicated playlists for nearly everything I do, including specific ones for the places we travel, too.
Thunderstorms (and rain, in general) make me happier than any amount of sunshine ever could. Hey Siri, play Garbage...
I am the very definition of a book dragon! As of the date of this blog, I have a personal library of 776 physical books, and that number just keeps growing. Don't ask me how many I've read; my TBR is never-ending. I plan to write short reviews of the books I have finished on this blog on occasion.
When it comes to my creative writing, I must put pen to paper before I can even consider typing it out. I also write exclusively in cursive and in pen - I despise pencil unless it's a requirement. I have to see and feel the ink flowing out of the pen onto the page as if my own blood is leaving my body via my fingertips.
One of my favorite books of all time is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Don't get me wrong, I adore all things LOTR, and The Great Gatsby will forever hold a special place in my heart, but I am truly a sucker for my girl Jane!
Stevie Nicks is my namesake. My daddy called me "Stevie Jo" all the time when I was growing up. Choosing that as my pen name was a way to honor him, yes, but it was also a deeply personal choice to help forge me into the woman and author I am today.
Those are just nine brief facts about me to help you get to know the author behind the pen a little better. Did anything surprise you? Can you relate to any of them? If you enjoyed this entry and would like to see more short lists to get to know me in the future, let me know.
I would also be remiss if I didn't ask you to go order a copy of the AOD series for yourself while you're here. In fact, I would love it if all of you could ask your favorite local bookstore to stock the Angel of Death series! Reading is for everyone, and I would love nothing more than to be in brick and mortar stores around the country! So help an indie gal out and spread the word, okay? Take a break from the worries of the world and just get lost in my books and encourage others to do the same.
Book 8 in the AOD series is on the horizon! It will be available by Spring 2027, but I'll post more updates once I have a more concrete timeline. This entry in the series is going to change everything permanently and not necessarily for the better. You will not want to miss it.
