Writing From My Kitchen Table

Stories, love, and a little flour dust

Hi there,

Welcome to the very first edition of my author newsletter! I’m Stephanie Nelson—speechwriter by day, romance writer by heart, and the kind of home cook who thinks a good sauce can fix just about anything.

If you’re here, you probably love stories that feel like home: real women navigating messy relationships, complicated families, and the kind of love that doesn’t always follow the recipe. That’s exactly what I write. And I’m so glad to have you at the table.

In this space, I’ll be sharing:

• Behind-the-scenes peeks into my books and writing process

• What I’m reading, cooking, and loving lately

• Thoughts on storytelling, creativity, and chasing the life you want

• Occasional book news, cover reveals, and maybe even a recipe or two

My debut novel is just the beginning, and book two, The Kitchen We Keep, is already simmering on the stove (hint: it involves 1960s Chicago, Sicilian food, and a love triangle that I’m still untangling). I can’t wait to bring you along.

Thanks for being here. It means more than you know.

Talk soon,
Stephanie

P.S. Hit reply and tell me what kind of stories you love most—messy family drama, slow-burn romance, second chances? I’d love to know what makes you keep turning the page.
