Novellas are longer than short stories and shorter than short novels. Novellas are routinely published in collections termed anthologies containing either the collected works of one author, or, more frequently,  the works of several authors dealing with a specific theme.

The five novellas Stephanie has had published thus far are contained in anthologies of the latter sort, together with the works of other romance authors on the designated theme.

For the anthology, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, containing Stephanie's The Fall of Rogue Gerrard, the theme was a hero and heroine who hadn't met for at least ten years, who unexpectedly found themselves stranded at an inn for one night.

For the anthology, HERO, COME BACK, containing Stephanie's Lost & Found, the theme was secondary male characters from earlier books finding their own ladies.

For the anthology SECRETS OF A PERFECT NIGHT, containing Stephanie's Scandalous Lord Dere, the theme was New Year's Eve balls.

For the anthology SCOTTISH BRIDES, containing Stephanie's Rose In Bloom, the theme revolves about Scotland, summer romances and, of course, June weddings.

For the anthology ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES, containing Stephanie's Melting Ice , the theme was for the hero to be a renegade of sorts, a "bad boy", a black sheep, a prodigal lover. ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES is no longer in print, however the novella Melting Ice appears in the anthology SCANDALOUS BRIDES.

"I've always relished the challenge of novellas -- as a novelist  whose "comfort zone" lies at greater than 125,000 words, to tell an engaging, satisfying romance in 25,000 words is truly a challenge, and keeps me on my writing toes." --- Stephanie
