Featured Debut Novelist: Stephanie Landsem

Stephanie Landsem writes historical fiction because she loves adventure in far-off times and places.

When Stephanie can’t travel, she reads. She loves fiction, of course, but she's often found behind a stack of history books or searching the web for historical tidbits.

Stephanie makes her home in Minnesota with her husband of more than 20 years, four children, three fat cats, and a tortoise named Moe. When she's not writing Biblical fiction, she's feeding the ravenous horde of kids and their friends, volunteering at church and school, battling dandelions, and dreaming about her next adventure – whether it be in person or on the page.

The following is a February 2014 interview with Stephanie.
