Online version of the autobiography is available at the web of Transformation company. It includes chapter written in 2014, briefly covering events after publishing the book, including the imprisonment due to false charge and the failure of hotel business.

On 7 July 2011, Booth's hotels went into financial administration. Administrators closed the Wynnstay Arms, The Anchor in Ruthin and The Bridge Hotel, Chester with immediate effect and the funhouses in Mold, Wrexham and Oswestry, as these premises were rented and default on rent payment could not be avoided. All four hotels, which had been trading well, were put up for sale.

In 2011, Booth announced her intention to take over Wrexham A.F.C., with an interest-free loan to save it from going into financial administration and the plan to raise £5 million to purchase the club in a community-based venture.

She starred in the reality television series about her businesses Hotel Stephanie for BBC Wales in 2008 and 2009.

In 2008, Mentorn Cymru began production of reality television series Hotel Stephanie for BBC Wales. The series focused on Booth and her running of her hotel chain, based mainly on activities around Llangollen. The programme was commissioned for a second series in 2009, which focused on the couples' takeover and refurbishment of The Wynnstay Arms hotel in Wrexham.

Unable to open a shop in Scotland due to Scottish law, the company opened a site in Newcastle upon Tyne. They also expanded their mail order business to cover both Germany and mainland Europe, and the United States. In 1992 Booth founded the Albany Gender Identity Clinic as a centre for transsexuals to seek specialist medical advice and guidance on their condition.

They married in February 1986 in Sri Lanka, but British law at this time didn't recognize such marriages.
