Bio
S.M. Stevens began writing fiction during back-to-back health crises: a shattered pelvis and ovarian cancer. Her focus is contemporary adult novels, but she also dabbles in short stories, script-writing, essays, and novels for Young Adults and Middle Graders. Her most recent novel, Beautiful and Terrible Things, was published in July 2024, and she has two works-in-progress: a novel and co-writing a true crime memoir that promises to be a blockbuster!
