Stacey hopes to write a book one day. She started many fiction books when she wrote as a teen and in her early 20s, when she finished NaNoWriMo with a “lesbian Bridget Jones” style novel. She is currently mentally writing a memoir about growing up with undiagnosed neurodivergence. 

 

 

Personal Life

Stacey identifies as queer and neurodivergent. She was born in Washington D.C. but grew up in Mississippi. She currently resides on unceded Chahta Yakni (Choctaw) land, known as Ridgeland, Mississippi with her longtime partner & spouse Jon and their 3 very spoiled dogs.

She is also a tattoo enthusiast, a lover of crystals, and a big fan of podcasts.
