Crime stories are born from imaginative minds.
This is me, that’s the life beyond my crime fiction.

Hello, I’m Stef. I’m a snooper, writer, sportsperson and native Sardinian.
I love dogs, running, Italian food, the orange colour and My Little Ponies® (I’ve always thought they lived in my summer clothes drawer).

By day I am an Happiness Engineer at Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com.
By night I write detective stories and cozy mysteries starring my British alter-ego, Chase Williams. In fact, many things happening to him had happened to me in my real life. A part from witnessing people’s murders.

Here are some fun facts about me (disclaimer: it may not contain crime stories):
- I don’t like sweet food but I have a soft spot for marshmellows. I just can’t resist them.
- I can prove beyond reasonable doubt that I’ve been the slowest sprinter in the history of athletics so far.
- I don’t always wear high heels, but when I do, I kill it.
- Everyone always thinks, in every gym I’ve been, that I’m a gymnast. Well, I’m not.
- Just because it’s fun, I’m taking pics of fire extinguishers everywhere.
