Autorenporträt
Steve, a native Tennesseean, has lived and worked in Singapore, Venezuela, Australia, Ecuador and China. For the last three decades Bangkok, Thailand has been his home. He has been an off-and-on writer since age ten but became serious about writing and publishing after settling in Thailand. Unlike authors who focus on a single genre, Steve has written stories across multiple genre; science fiction (Terror Beneath The Bayou), literary fiction (Saving Moses), drama/adventure (Lady Alone) and his latest release, an absurdist mystery (Betwixt And Between). He is currently working on a dystopian tale about a severely polluted Earth and one village's attempt to sail across the Pacific Ocean to a hoped-for better life.
