Stephanie Kaleto

Stephanie Kaleto is a young Detroit native currently residing in Mississippi. As a teenager, her writing bloomed from English class essays to poetry. From poetry, it blossomed into short stories, fan fiction, and more poetry. As she delved deeper into her writing, she realized a love had grown that she didn’t realize existed. Her first published story, a short story entitled “Anniversary Revenge”, was written with fellow author Scott Prussing under the pen name of Karly Aragon. From there, she has continued to write fan fiction, until she reached her first full-length novel, Disconsolate. While pursuing her Creative Writing BFA degree, she took four short pieces she wrote and compiled them to make the publication entitled "To Love and Leave Behind" available on Smashwords. While she hasn’t released anything else yet, promise shows within her that there is plenty more to come. Outside of writing, Stephanie is a full-time mother to her two sons. She is a bookworm, a music lover, and also enjoys spending time with her family. You can find her on many social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram... but she can also be contacted by email.

Hey Ivy, um… It’s Devin. I was wondering if we could sit down and talk some time. Maybe we could meet up somewhere, or if you just want to call me some time, Devin said as he paced from one end of the breakfast bar to the other, scratching the back of his head. "I’d really like to talk to you if you’d give me the time to do so. I’d also like to listen to what you have to say, so please don’t think all I want to do is hear myself talk here.
