Meet Stephanie Graham, Author of Sky Might Fall!

How long Have you been Writing?
 
 Since I could remember I’ve always kept a journal with me to just get out any feelings that bothered me or whatever was going on in my day to day life, I would just always write it out somewhere.
Why did you feel compelled to write this story?
 
 When I was sixteen years old I wrote Sky Might Fall, during that time I was really depress about my life, and I didn’t know what much to do but write, and I told myself I was going to write a story about a young teenage girl in the struggle and how she’ll make it out one day.
 
Tell Us More about the main characters in your book?
 
 Sky, Jerome, and their parents are mainly the main characters.
Sky who is the main character, she is the go-getter  and one who keeps getting knock down day by day and she continues to struggle with everything that is thrown her way at being just 17 years old she deals with the streets, insecurities, drug addicted parents, molestation but she fights everyday to try not becoming a victim to the streets.
Jerome who is Sky’s best friend who Sky is madly in love with but never let him know, but he share a similar story to Sky, his mom is deeply in drugs and his father and brothers were murdered, he is this teenage boy dealing with his mom on drugs and trying to stay positive and help Sky with everything she goes through.
Both Sky and Jerome parents that plays a huge role in this story makes life complicated for these two young teenagers, by being addicted to the streets and being a burden on their children shoulders.

 

What writers inspire you?
 I love Authors Miasha, Omar Tyree, Sistah Souljah, umh T-styles and
 Anne E Schraff,
  I feel the best to tell a story is what is going on, or what people tend to ignore “reality!” and they are really good at telling whats going on, and what people tend to ignore.
 
What do you do for fun and in your spare time?
 Of course I love to write different types of things and get joy and relief out of it, I’m really big on sports, so I’m watching Lakers, Eagles and Phillies on the regular, and I love to enjoy time with my family and close friends.


 
A little off topic.  Do you think that their is a solution to the violence in Philadelphia?
 I believe there are many solutions to the violence in Philadelphia, its just in this day and age a lot of young people are doing things like  getting a hold of these guns, or doing violent things and it is like where is the parents? why aren’t they in the house reading a book, doing homework, at a rec center, doing something productive instead of trying to be violent, there has to be more of a positive aspect for the community and I feel that is being lacked in our community. The attention from parents at home and there is not enough positive things going on in certain areas in Philadelphia.
