Growing up in the tundras of Canada, and later, the green valleys of Wales, Stephanie Meurer is a vagabound. After a tumultous childhood, she soon ventured out to the land of silicone, California, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara. While in Cali, Stephanie has worked the whole gamut, from nannying to MTV, and writing for such fine publications as Ben Is Dead. Stephanie's plan is to win the California state lottery and live in a cave, where she can watch endless Jeopardy marathons and consume masses of Trader Joe's culinary delights. but for now, she is still unsure of the place she calls home.
