The Bluestem Writer’s Workshop will feature award-winning and best-selling novelist Stephanie Grace Whitson, author of 30 books. Stephanie Grace Whitson began playing with imaginary friends (i.e., writing fiction) when an abandoned pioneer cemetery near the Whitson’s country home provided not only a hands-on history lesson for her four homeschooled children but 
also a topic of personal study. In 2014, Whitson celebrated her twentieth year as a published novelist. For a complete list of her book titles go to www.stephaniewhitson.com.
