Stephanie Osborn
The Interstellar Woman of Mystery

Ebook best-selling author of the popular Division One series; the award-winning Sherlock Holmes and the Mummy's Curse; best-sellers Burnout, The Y Factor, and Rock and Roll; and the critically-acclaimed Displaced Detective series, as seen on CBS Sunday Morning!

Welcome to my website! I am a retired rocket scientist turned writer who likes to mingle science fiction and mystery with a strong element of action thriller and a touch of romance. My style has been described as, "Hard-edged SF that wraps a compelling mystery around 'this is the real thing' space science...tight, tense, and gripping---Osborn tells a damn good story, and tells it well." ~ Holly Lisle, author of The Ruby Key: Moon & Sun I My very first book, Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281, "is a compelling, impossible to put down, first novel in the class of Skylark of Space or 'Lifeline'...It may perhaps be the most realistic view ever published in fiction about what happens behind the scenes at NASA." ~ Jim Woosley, Ph.D. physicist and Heinlein essayist My Displaced Detective books "are like literary crack. I fell in love with [Osborn's] characters and her world so completely that I’ve been telling all my friends ‘YOU MUST READ THESE!’ And yes, I’ve been doing so in all caps." ~ Melissa A. Bartell, Bibliotica About the new Division One series, "This [is] Stephanie at the top of her form...a master of her craft...I was spellbound." ~Daniel Hollifield, Editor in Chief, Aphelion Magazine If you like hard science fiction, exciting cliffhangers, mysterious situations, and determined, passionate characters, push farther into my site and see what I have going!
