Bio
Author 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 her next is due in early 2027. She has two works-in-progress: a novel and co-writing a true crime memoir that promises to be a blockbuster!
