About Stefanie
Stefanie Worth’s debut novel, Where Souls Collide, recently won the Science Fiction category of the 2008 African American Literary Awards Show. Stefanie enjoys writing stories about everyday women facing supernatural dilemmas. In life and love, these heroines take chances with their choices that lead the reader through twists and turns that whisk them from ordinary to otherworldly, from “what if” to “why not?”

Stefanie has also been published locally by the Metro Times and Michigan Chronicle newspapers, and nationally by Class, Black Excellence and Upscale magazines.

About Renee Williams
Hi, Marlive and Renee!
I just wanted to thank you for letting me in on the fun here at the Santa Baby Tour. I have to admit, it was a little odd reading snippets out loud for others to hear. I’m usually the only one who “hears” the book, and that’s when I’m editing. I hope everyone enjoys eavesdropping on Fallon Terry and the mess her husband Naymond has gotten them into!

Hi Stefanie,
Impressive bio. My hubby’s from Taylor. Do you know where Taylor is? I’m going to send you a friend request in MySpace right now!
Eartha wants Santa to slip a Sable coat under the Christmas tree. I wouldn’t mind this either with a copy of THE HOLIDAY INN tucked in the pocket of course!

Hi, Mel, Lashonda, Jen and ‘Cilla — Thanks for stopping by today!
Yes, Mel, I know just where Taylor is. I’ll think of you next time I drive through. And I’ll be looking for your friend request!
Lashonda and ‘Cilla, thanks for the compliments. I loved writing the story and I do hope it holds a great takeaway for everyone.

Hey Stefanie,
I loved the reading, soror! Sounds like some drama unfolding for real! I can’t wait to read this anthology. I love When Souls Collide and I know this is going to be just as good.
much love and peace,

Hi Stefanie,
You are so welcome and THANK YOU for agreeing to be our headline author on day 8 of our fun virtual book tour . . . woo-hoo!
I can certainly relate to you saying how odd it felt to read out loud. But trust me when I say that your reading was EXCELLENT and I hope that you will do more audio for your books; readers love hearing from authors they enjoy! And as my book buddy Jen stated here, I too will be picking up a copy of this anthology to check out your story and others in this collection for the holidays!
Happy Holidays to you and yours and enjoy your day with us!
Stefanie, it is such a pleasure to have you as part of this tour! I definitely enjoyed eavesdropping on Fallon and Terry, and look forward to reading your story.
Jen, you are a mess! “Sable for $400 Alex” I’m over here ROFLMBO! I can always count on you for a little comic relief! LOL
I’ll be announcing winners tonight, so stay tuned.
Tiffany, Mel, LaShonda, ‘Cilla, and Gwyneth, thanks so much for stopping by and being constant supporters of this tour! It would not be the success that it is without die-hard fans like you.
Hey Stefanie, sorry we dodn’t get to see you last night at the GDRWA Holiday party, but know I ate a dessert just for you (G). The answer to the question is a sable coat.
Take care and Happy Holidays.
Hi, Tiffany, Gwyneth and Patti!
Thanks for dropping in on the tour and for your support of The Holiday Inn. What better way to snuggle into the season than with a wintry romance?
Enjoy the read!
(Oh, and Patti, I treated myself to a little fruitcake today as consolation for having to miss the party. LOL)
A sable – something that Fallon (sp?) couldn’t afford, but Namen (sp?)would buy to cover up his activities in the Star!
I enjoyed your reading. Are you reading for a CD of your story?
Hi Stefanie -
Very nice reading.
I am so enjoying this book tour.
Santa needs to leave a sable under the tree.
That was wonderful, Stefanie!!! Isn’t the book tour great! Enjoy the rest of your special day at All The Buzz!
Eartha wants aSable under her tree. Me too :0).
Great reading – thank you
Karin: While Naymond’s picking up that Sable for Fallon to cover his tracks, he can grab one for me, too — just because. We’ll make sure he gets jetmark’s request as well. LOL
Thanks for the compliment, Beverly, and Farrah, it’s so good to see you here. Yes, the tour is a blast.
Thanks to all of you for tuning in!
