Sandra Stephens is a blogger and author whose essays and short stories appear on her blog, "reliablyuncomfortable." Her longer works are also available through her published author page on Amazon. Stephens approaches her writing with a philosophy centered on encouraging readers to engage with new perspectives. This often involves exploring themes that might initially feel challenging or "uncomfortable," a method she finds particularly effective in fostering greater attention and deeper reflection. On her blog, Stephens examines a diverse range of themes. These include her experiences with long-distance running, particularly across mountainous terrain, and candid reflections on family life, often focusing on her role as a stepmother. She also frequently delves into the horror genre, a specialty she values for its capacity to challenge readers and provoke deeper thought. Her analytical perspective, which underpins her writing, is shaped by her professional background as a social scientist in corporate America, where she previously contributed to product development and consumer insights. Beyond her literary endeavors, Stephens actively supports a non-profit organization, where she serves as a "warrior for democracy."
