A propos de ma bibliothèque
One of her current Top-25 novels (in e-book and trade paperback formats) by Twilight Times Books is Burnout, a science fiction mystery about a Space Shuttle disaster that turns out to be no accident. As the true scope of the disaster 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 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.

Also recently released as a best-selling 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 second novel in the Cresperia 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 was a Fictionwise #1 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 series. In addition, Stephanie is thrilled to be collaborating with her mentor, Travis S. "Doc" Taylor, on the first in a series of books. The first bookis Extraction Point!, another action packed techno-thriller.

She also has two manuscripts complete on her own series, regarding the discovery of alternate universes, and the commotion which ensues when the inhabitant of one universe inadvertently crosses into our own.
