Author Bio

Stephanie Pleasant halted her flourishing career creating websites to pursue writing Vestiges of Light. It was a calling that came one evening while staring out back at the big Magnolia tree and would not release her until she purged the powerful memoir onto paper.

Earning her black belt at 44 helped her overcome learned fears and a lack of confidence. Writing and finishing Vestiges of Light, 25 years later, helped her heal from emotional trauma and profound loss.

Today, Stephanie lives in Tennessee with her love, Mike, whom she met in Asheville, NC. They share a beautiful home with two precious rescue pups, a Maltipoo and a Havanese. Their family includes six adult children and five fabulous grandchildren!

Her life has become magical, and she is overflowing with gratitude.
