About the author
Raised in Westport, Connecticut, Stephanie Vlahos grew up in the presence of writing from an early age. Both parents were writers. Olivia Vlahos wrote extensively on anthropology as a protégé to anthropologist Joseph Campbell. John Vlahos wrote for screen in Hollywood, then radio and early television in New York City.
A Yale graduate with a former career as a professional opera singer and actor, Stephanie later journeyed into performance art with the moniker, “The Moonlighting Diva,” from Associated Press for her performances in Europe and at Jean—Pierre Boccara’s critically acclaimed club Cafe Largo in Los Angeles.
But music lives in everything, and Stephanie now chooses to “sing” as a storyteller and stage director. As a stage director, her influences stem from her professional work as a performer with directors Gordon Davidson, Sir Peter Hall, Jonathan Miller, and Walter Hill.
As a writer, Stephanie cites the influence of authors such as Saki (H.H. Munro), Thomas Mann, Bram Stoker, Don Delillo, Rod Serling, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carol, Andrew Lang, Thomas Wolfe, Margaret Atwood, and her beloved dad John Vlahos whose first language may have been Greek, but who became a great writer of American stories for early television featuring young actors such as Robert Redford and William Shatner, stories told with great empathy about all sorts of people in all walks of life. Fast forward past the Twilight Zone, Tweedledum, and dry British horror stories – welcome to Mercury’s Wake.
Stephanie lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Stephanie Vlahos explores how modern living has changed our sense of community and increased feelings of isolation … A thought—provoking, timely piece.”
