Stephanie Storey is a well-traveled author and television producer. From a young age, Storey has been exploring different parts of the world with her family, which sparked her interest in cultural experiences. At the age of eighteen, she traveled to Europe as part of a traveling choir, and her love for exploration only grew from there. She has since snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef, been to Iceland, and hiked to a south coast glacier. Storey has also made it a point to witness every displayed Michelangelo in Europe, showcasing her deep appreciation for art and history.
Storey is the author of the bestselling historical novel, "Oil and Marble: a novel of Leonardo and Michelangelo." The New York Times praised the book as "tremendously entertaining," and it has been translated into six languages. She is also the author of "Raphael, Painter in Rome." Storey's expertise in art and history is evident in her writing, as she brings to life the stories of some of the most famous artists in history. In addition to being an author, Storey is a national television producer, having worked on shows like The Arsenio Hall Show for CBS, The Alec Baldwin Show on ABC, and the Writers' Room with Jim Rash on Sundance.
Storey and her husband, Mike Gandolfi, who is an actor and Emmy-winning comedy writer, often travel together in search of their next stories. Their shared love for exploration and storytelling is a common theme in Storey's work, as she draws inspiration from her experiences and the people she meets along the way.
