Stephanie Weir loves animals almost as much as she loves writing. Well, she loves all animals except for possums. They sneak up on her while she’s jogging! Possums are creeps.

Stephanie spends her days writing about sewing machines and vacuum cleaners – a vast showcase of her talents since she does not sew or (according to her roommate) vacuum. Sometimes a giant turkey runs past her office window, which is so freaking rad.

Her nights are none of your beeswax, although she will divulge that she loves reading Kurt Vonnegut, making fruit salad, hanging out at comedy clubs and talking on the telephone while walking in the woods. She divulges everything else at Shortcake. Yes, she is pretty short.
