Steve was blessed from his childhood with a vivid imagination, an enjoyment of laughter and a love of the outdoors. he is best known for the weekly outdoor column "Exploring Kansas Outdoors" that today is carried in a dozen newspapers throughout Kansas. The stories in A Coon in my Coveralls come from "Outrageously Outdoors," an outdoor humor column he writes for The Territorial Magazine, published in Dodge City, Kansas. Steve is also handy in the kitchen and, when not writing, can be found experimenting with new and better recipes for Skunk Skillet Stew or rack of Raccoon.
