Hi, I'm Steff.

I'm the USA Today bestselling author of dark, gothic, and sinful romance novels. Born in New Zealand and raised on a steady diet of metal and out-of-print archaeology books, I’m now a novelist, hiker, mead-brewer, cat-wrangler, and professional iron maiden.

Oh yeah... and I'm legally blind.

My Cantankerous Drummer Husband (CDH for short) and I live in an off-grid home we designed and built ourselves on 4 acres of paradise overlooking the rugged Kaipara coastline, with our four cats, a menagerie of barnyard animals, and our medieval sword collection.
