Stella Telleria: All my life I’ve dreamed of stories or have had my nose buried in one. I live in Edmonton, Canada with my husband and my weird sense of humor. I like stories with action, a good plot, and characters I'd get into a fight at the pub for. Not that I'm a brawler or anything. Unless you think that out-of-print book or vintage piece at the store is going home with you instead of me. Then, my friend, the gloves are off.

Reviews For Across The Wire

"Ever think if women ruled the world it would be one big "Kumbaya?" Across the Wire gives a nightmarish look into one version of what that world could look like while also challenging the concepts of freedom and safety and what they really mean."

-Jennifer Ricketts

"Just one sentence for you to start imagining: The world upside down...This is one of those books I wouldn't have put down before finishing! Five well-deserved stars!"

-Chiara

"Stella Telleria builds a world that made me cringe and made me think and ponder, one that felt real and plausible even if extremely unwanted for me. I consider myself a feminist, but I'd never want the tables turned in such a way!"

-Pili

"I loved Mia and enjoyed seeing a female as a 'leader' without being feminist and being a genuine person with real feelings and life experience."

-Debbie Kennedy

Fave Quotes

Thou shalt have conflict on every page. And if thou wants to sell thy damned story, thou wiltst.

No one ever drowned in sweat.

This isn't Nam, there are rules!

Pain is temporary, pride is forever.

Discovery is seeing what everyone else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought.

If at first you don't succeed...you're not Chuck Norris.
