Coming from a family of storytellers - traditional, oral storytellers, that is - it's little wonder that Stormy is driven to weave words as well. She can't remember a time when she didn't love books - from the feel and smell of the pages, to the information they hold, to the tales that they tell - but storytelling is a labor of love, which doesn't always pay the bills. A ridiculous variety of side jobs have supported her writing habit, including waitress, security guard, library minion, salesperson, hairdresser, handyman, engineering drafter, and small business owner.
