Few can claim the varied background of award-winning author Stephanie Osborn, the Interstellar Woman of Mystery.
Veteran of more than 20 years in the civilian space program, as well as various military space defense programs, she worked on numerous space shuttle flights and the International Space Station, and counts the training of astronauts on her resumé. Her space experience also includes Spacelab and ISS operations, variable star astrophysics, Martian aeolian geophysics, radiation physics, and nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons effects. Stephanie holds graduate and undergraduate degrees in four sciences: astronomy, physics, chemistry and mathematics, and she is "fluent" in several more, including geology and anatomy. In addition she possesses a license of ministry, has been a duly sworn, certified police officer, and is a National Weather Service certified storm spotter.
Her travels have taken her to the top of Pikes Peak, across the world’s highest suspension bridge, down gold mines, in the footsteps of dinosaurs, through groves of giant Sequoias, and even to the volcanoes of the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest, where she was present for several phreatic eruptions of Mount St. Helens.
Now retired from space work, Stephanie has trained her sights on writing. She has authored, co-authored, or contributed to some 40+ books, including the celebrated science-fiction mystery, Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281. She is the co-author of the Cresperian Saga book series, and has written the critically acclaimed Displaced Detective Series, described as "Sherlock Holmes meets The X-Files," and its pulp-bestselling prequel series, Gentleman Aegis, the very first book of which won a Silver Falchion award. She has dabbled in paranormal/horror as well, releasing the ebook novella El Vengador, based on a true story. Her recent popular science book, Rock and Roll, a discussion of the New Madrid fault and its historic quakes, was a multiple-genre bestseller! It was followed with the equally-popular Kiss Your Ash Goodbye, an explanation of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Currently she's launching into the unknown with the Division One series, her take on the urban legend of the people who show up at UFO sightings, alien abductions, etc. to make things...disappear.
In addition to her writing work, the Interstellar Woman of Mystery now happily "pays it forward," teaching math and science through numerous media including radio, podcasting and public speaking, as well as working with SIGMA, the science-fiction think tank.
The Mystery continues.

Karl started writing in grade school when there was a school newspaper that needed articles. Most of the writers were teachers and administrators who put out school calendars and announcements. So, yeah, mostly boring stuff. I thought that it needed a comedic punch. But he didn’t want to be judged by his age, so he submitted my humorous attempts anonymously, under a pen name. Someone on the staff must have liked them, because they got published. Or perhaps they were just desperate for articles.
The stories were probably dumb, stories about a guy stuck in his vehicle and passing notes out the partially opened window to garner help in his plight. They were a series, with each week passing he got more desperate for escape from the car. It was met with booming success. I would hear people talking about it and wondering who this John Doe author was. Many suggested some popular teachers, some suggested popular kids. Few guessed it was the quiet geek in the background. It was delightful!
He finally broke the silence with the last in the series, signing it as John Karl Doe. As the only Karl in my school, this was my outing. I had lots of folks congratulating me on the little contributions. OK, this was the creation of the monster. I was hooked on writing.
It must have worked. He has had success in magazines, newsletters, online, and eight books. Many of them are now on Lulu.com, just search for his name or click the link below.
