My name is Stephanie Paddock née Shaver, she/her. I live in the PNW, where I work for Wizards of the Coast on Arena as a Senior Game Producer. Prior to that, I worked on Battle.net at Blizzard Entertainment, and prior to that I was an employee of Simutronics, where (among other things) I was a games technician/designer, webmaster, and lead designer on Hero's Journey, HeroEngine, and Fantasy University. I have had over two dozen short stories published in numerous anthologies.

I share my life with the delightful Michael Paddock, also a games developer, and former employee at Simutronics. We have two kids together. They're great and don't know their mom is on Wikipedia.

When I'm not playing games or writing, I am usually gardening, cooking, or fending off the world around me.

You can find out more about me at my website.
