Stacey J. Bittner is a YA mythic fantasy author and universe architect based in Pennsylvania. He creates stories where ancient forces, hidden worlds, and the courage of ordinary teens collide. His debut novel, The Staircase Shaped Door, opens a portal between Earth and Veraunauth — home of the luminous Moogalytes — and follows two young protagonists swept into a conflict far greater than they ever imagined.

Stacey’s work blends emotional depth with expansive worldbuilding, driven by his fascination with destiny and the unseen threads that bind people together. His commitment to storytelling is deeply shaped by his family’s experience with Type 1 Diabetes. As an advocate for T1D research and awareness, he donates 17% of all book proceeds directly to organizations advancing treatment and understanding — because stories should change lives both on and off the page.

When he isn’t writing, Stacey is expanding the Staircase Shaped Door Universe — developing lore, refining cosmic aesthetics, and crafting immersive experiences for readers who crave mythic fantasy with heart.
