Stephanie D. Fletcher

As Stephanie Fletcher wrote in her column in the Charlotte Observer: "Under a cloak of anonymity, barriers come down with breakneck speed, love and passion flare in electronic mail. It harkens to an earlier time when lovers sent their tender or smoldering sentiments in letters by messenger or overland mail. The difference now is the message (and the relationship] move at blinding speed." E-Mail: A Love Story is Stephanie Fletcher's debut, an exciting epistolary novel presented as a collection of electronic mail and bulletin-board posts, and a passionate look at an on-line love affair that has real life consequences.
