Living Fast

by Stephanie Randall, Skarr Akbar (Illustrator), James Chase (Photographer)

Overview

Some women get consumed with the fast life and never make it out, but Rose Peers is determined not to be one of them.
At the age of eighteen, Rose is desperate to get off to a fresh start.
After fleeing Virginia due to the embarrassing facts surrounding her high school sweetheart�s murder, Rose goes back to her home town, Baltimore. She has a strict plan that she cannot stray from which is to get settled, and get her children back from her mother, Viola Peers. This plan is much too vague for such a complex mission. Rose is in a fast city with no income and a hotel room to call her own, which was part of the reason why her mother wouldn�t let her take her children to Baltimore in the first place. Along with having to make a life for her children, Rose is struggling to find herself. Her childhood had been a rough one. So naturally, Rose yearns to be loved. A failed relationship shortly after arriving in Baltimore leads Rose on a hunt for her new love, fast money. She links up with Rochelle, a veteran exotic dancer who reluctantly introduces her to the dancing industry and the two become close friends. Life has become so fancy and fun for Rose that she loses sight of her original goal: her children.
In the midst of all the excitement a new tragedy strikes and things take a turn for the worst. Painful memories and deep, dark, family secrets come back to haunt her, causing her life to spiral out of control.
As the temptation of a fast city swirl around her, will she be able to stay focused?

About the Author

Stephanie Kimberly Randall-Blanchard is a multi-faceted woman. From modeling, acting, hosting, and writing she is making her mark in the DMV area. Born December 3, 1985, Stephanie is a Baltimore city native. Stephanie excelled in school where psychology and English were her favorite subjects. In 2003, she graduated from Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School in the top five percent of her class. Being raised by a single mother taught Stephanie to maintain a hustling mentality. In August of 2003 Stephanie enrolled at Baltimore Studio of Hair Design where she studied cosmetology and has been a licensed cosmetologist since 2004.
Although Stephanie pursued a career in cosmetology, acting, and modeling have always been her passion. She made her acting debut as �Maliyah� in the independent film Family, Faith, and Money written by Frankie Jones which was released spring 2010. She accredits Martin Morton, of Colored Pixels for giving her the push that she needed to actually pursue modeling. Her 2014 calendar is scheduled for release in December of this year. Modeling and acting have opened many doors for Stephanie. She has taught photography posing seminars for Inferno Dance Company and was the first co-host for The ISH Radio (Inspiring Social Hotness).
Along with acting, and modeling, Ms. Randall has always had a love for writing. Her book Living Fast, is her latest project. This is only the beginning for her career as an author.
Stephanie is a self-motivated and ambitious being. But she always gives credit to her two young daughters for adding to her drive. �My daughters are one of the main reasons why I think so big�. I want them to have the best.. And they�re going to have the best. Being a single mom has made me aware of the fact that I have to take things to the next level. I always tell them that as long as you put God first and stay focused, then we are capable of all things. And that�s what I�m doing. But the best is yet to come�.
