Hi Ink Drinkers,

NEW INFORMATION FOR READERS WHO PM ME: Due to the insane number of PMs I receive from soliciting artists asking me to pay them to make artistic representations of my work - I no longer reply to PMs. If you are PMing me, I now believe it is because you are an artist who wants me to pay for a collaboration. It doesn't matter what you say in your message. This has happened too many times for me to believe that there is anyone else on fictionpress who wants to talk. If you want to praise my work - WRITE A REVIEW! Thank you. That is all.

NEWS: I am not uploading chapters slowly anymore. When I decide I want to release a book here, I'm going to release the whole thing in one go.

My pen name used to be Sapphirefly and now I write as Stephanie Van Orman.

If you want paperbacks of my books, they're available for reasonable prices on AMAZON. If you want audiobooks of my books, they're available on GooglePlay and AppleBooks.

If you want to find me, simply google the name Stephanie Van Orman. You'll get some results.

Information about my covers: Because the thumbnails for stories are so small, I've resorted to using smaller versions of my covers. They're still mine... just much smaller.

Thank you for reading!
