"Stephanie has a great imagination and writes as someone with a great experience of life, bringing real life like situations into her writing. In her book "Time Tells Tales'' she brings you through love, sex, violence and more keeping your interest all the way throughout. For me I find interesting the spiritual theme she brings to her writing. I would highly recommend her as an author or should I say authoress." Daphne Whitehouse on LinkedIn
