Stefani Wilder

Stefani was born in Arizona. She spent her childhood exploring the wild foothills of the Sonoran Desert on horseback, often getting into scrapes on her sturdy mare, Blue. Always an avid reader, she won her first short-story writing contest at the age of 9 and had her first work published in a children's magazine when she was 10.Since then, Stefani has never stopped writing. While attending Northern Arizona University pursing degrees in English and traditional printmaking, her short stories appeared in a number of magazines, including Scribindi and the Edgar Review. Stefani's thesis project for her BFA involved the creation of a hand bound book and a collection of short stories, each modeled after a fairy tale and accompanied by an original serigraph print.Since her graduation with honors in 2006, Stefani has continued to write and to work with horses. She and her husband regularly rehab troubled horses and help their students improve their riding and handling skills. In 2012, she read one book too many that promised to be about horses but contained no horsemanship whatsoever. Her first novel aimed at creating a different kind of horse story, A Man Who Rides, came out in 2013 and became a #1 Amazon bestseller. Since then, her Tipped Z series has expanded to four titles. All these books are set on a fictional working ranch called the Tipped Z. Book number five, Vaquera's Bronc, is slated for publication in 2020.Stefani lives in Iowa City with her husband, her Australian Shepherd, and their small herd of horses. She also writes epic fantasy under the name Robin Stephen.
