Stephanie R Sorensen

Stephanie is a writer based in the Victorian mining town of Leadville, Colorado, where she lives at 10,152 feet with her husband, three chickens, two bantam English game hens and one Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. After a former life in big cities--New York City, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Boston, Mexico City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Santa Fe--she now enjoys the birdsong and quiet writing time she finds in Leadville. When she's not writing, Stephanie stays busy sewing fancy gowns, running the historic Tabor Opera House and working as a part-time technology venture capitalist. Her first novel draws on her experience living and working in Japan. As a Leadville local, she likes her Victorian attire spiced with a little neo-Victorian futurism and the biggest bustle possible.
