My Bio
Buy Burnout here!
Novelist Stephanie Osborn is a former payload flight controller, a veteran of over
twenty years of working in the civilian space program, as well as various
military space defense programs.
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. She obtained her various
degrees from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN and
Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN.
Stephanie Osborn has worked on numerous Space Shuttle flights and the
International Space Station, and counts the training of astronauts on her resume.
Of those astronauts she trained, one was Kalpana Chawla, or "K.C.," a member
of the crew lost in the Columbia disaster.
Stephanie is currently retired from space work. She now happily "passes it
forward," tutoring math and science to students in the Huntsville area, from
elementary through college, while writing science fiction mysteries based
on her knowledge, experience, and travels.
One of her current science fiction mysteries (in e-book and trade paperback
formats) by Twilight Times Books is Burnout, a techno-thriller about a Space Shuttle
disaster that turns out to be no accident. As the true scope of the conspiracy is
gradually uncovered by the principal investigators, "Crash" Murphy and
Dr. Mike Anders, they find themselves running for their lives, as lovers, friends
and coworkers involved in the investigation perish around them. What
happened to the Shuttle? Who is responsible for the disaster and why?
Why is the government calling it an accident? Why is someone willing to kill
to keep it a secret? And how big is the conspiracy? An exciting action
techno-thriller, Burnout will leave you on the edge of your seat, not wanting
to put it down. Burnout has been in Fictionwise's SF Top 25.
Also recently released as an e-book, and coming in trade paperback in Fall 2009,
is The Y Factor, coauthored with Darrell Bain, multiple Eppie Award winner.
It is the next novel in the Cresperia science fiction series. Osborn's mentor,
Travis "Doc" Taylor, and Bain co-authored the first novel of the series,
Human By Choice, published by Twilight Times Books. The Cresperians are an
alien race whose starship wrecks in our solar system, with some of the lifepods
landing scattered around Earth. The series tells of the new "space race"
that ensues as various nations vie for the Cresperians and their technology.
The Y Factor is a Fictionwise best-seller.
Stephanie is maintaining her collaboration with Darrell Bain, and they are
in discussions for the plot of the third, yet-untitled book in the Cresperia
science fiction series. In addition, Stephanie is thrilled to be collaborating
with her mentor, Travis S. "Doc" Taylor, on the first in what we hope will be
a series of books. The first book is Extraction Point!, another action packed
science fiction mystery, definitely a techno-thriller read. She also has two
manuscripts complete on her own science fiction mystery series, regarding
the discovery of alternate universes, and the commotion which ensues when the
inhabitant of one universe inadvertently crosses into our own.

In Flanders Fields

Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
