Stephanie Chambers

Stephanie has been a writer for the past fifteen years. She has done technical writing, medical writing, magazine articles, poetry and fiction. She is a director of Acture Pty Ltd, the parent company of Merri Mysteries. Earth Garden have published a book by her called "Getting Started In The Country". Stephanie has written most of the Merri Mysteries mystery party games. She has also recently written an e-book called "House plans, home builders and dreams". See www.newhousebuilding.com for details.

She studied biology and ended up with a science degree majoring in physiology. However, before she left university she realized that she would rather write about science than spend her days with test tubes. She had already realized that she had a forte in writing, having won a campus-wide writing competition, so she asked her friends who were studying journalism for tips on how to write articles.

Since then she has worked as freelance journalist and medical writer.

She worked for ten years as a technical writer, which she found she had a natural flair for, given her enthusiasm for learning about anything and everything. Since 1998 she has been busy writing all the mystery party games for Merri Mysteries and running this as a full-time business.
