ABOUT
Meet C.C. Steele
C.C. Steele writes under a pen name for one reason, to protect the guilty who might recognize themselves in her stories.
The stories in How to Dodge a Bullet are lived, not imagined. The lessons were learned the hard way. The boundaries were built in fire. This isn’t fiction. It’s field research.
C.C. believes women deserve clarity, confidence, and the courage to walk away from anything that threatens their peace.
C. C. Steele is a dating warrior who’s dodged more bullets than a rom-com heroine. Armed with red lipstick and humor, she’s turned her post divorce adventures into a laugh-out-loud memoir. When she’s not swiping left, she’s sipping wine, quoting The Devil wears Prada, and living in Florida, where her stories burn hotter than the sun.
