Steppie Morris

Stephanie has been obsessed with books since she could read but gained her nickname, Steppie Dance, from her brother as an adult because she’s a dancer and her brother’s just plain crazy! But that fun nickname definitely seemed fitting to go on her children’s books. She is happiest surrounded by her family and has loved raising her five kids with a bedtime story nearly every night (even when they were teens—shhh, don’t tell)! When not reading, she can be found writing, cooking, in a yoga pose, or sneaking an extra chocolate chip cookie—with milk, of course. She lives in Arizona, where she enjoys the gorgeous winters, loves monsoon season, and doesn’t mind the heat. She continues her life-long obsession with books as a creative writing teacher and a successful writer of short stories, children’s books, and romance novels. She’s a devoted member of ANWA, even serving on their board of directors and, recently, as the Chair for their Annual Writers Conference. Steppie can be found @stephanieannmorris.author!
