Stefanie Ross was born in Lubeck, Germany. She has lived for most of her life in northern Germany and has traveled across the United States, Canada, and Mexico by car and motorcycle. In 2012 she published her first romantic thriller, featuring hot men, strong women, and dark secrets. She has published fifteen novels-crime stories, thrillers, and romantic suspense-in German, and some of her books have been translated into Bulgarian. When not writing or thinking up new stories, she's riding her motorcycle, reading a book, or spending time at the ocean. Ross lives near the Baltic Sea with her husband and son. She's addicted to coffee, whiskey (single-malt only!), and spending time with her two guinea pigs. She is a member of International Thriller Writers and Sisters in Crime. Nemesis: Innocence Sold is her English-language debut.
