The views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Aerys Sports.

Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.

Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).

Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.

Here’s an updated ‘about me’ since there’ve been some changes since I last wrote one!

I’m Steph. I’m a recent graduate of Gettysburg College who majored in history and minored in Civil War Era Studies. My goal in life is to write historical graphic novels to help make history fun for people. A few vitals:

  • I’m 5’2” and can still fit into children’s extra-large clothing.
  • I LIVE for baseball. I write for Aerys Sports, covering the Orioles, Stanford baseball, and the MLB Draft. Soon, I’ll be one of the writers for the Red Sox site, as well.
  • I love my cats. I have four. The youngest, Murphy, was named after Daniel Murphy of the New York Mets. The cat in my photo is the oldest and the only girl, Mittens.
  • The Red Sox and Mets are my first two teams, but I’ve got a soft spot for the Orioles because Camden Yards is only an hour and a half away from where I attended college.
  • I’m a nerd. I like manga and anime, history, science, my Giant Microbes, statistics, Star Wars, video games, and documentaries. I’ve been watching documentaries on astronomy and paleontology since I was four.
  • In terms of manga and anime, Ookiku Furikabutte is my all-time favorite. It captures baseball so genuinely. That and Junta is adorable.
  • I roleplay Takase Junta on Twitter because he’s a dork and loves catchers.
  • Jed Lowrie is my favorite person in the entire world. For lots of reasons.
  • I have Asperger’s syndrome, which means I’m mildly autistic and I have trouble interacting in person. The computer makes that a lot easier for me.
  • I’m single. And looking. So if you’re a single boy who likes history and baseball, feel free to chat me up!
