Steve Bellinger is the author of the award winning novel The Chronocar for Barking Rain Press. He was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago by a single mom who worked nights for a printing company.  She would bring home books and magazines to encourage her kids to read.  This is how Steve discovered Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke and the other masters of classic science fiction. It didn’t take long for him to get the itch to write.  His stories usually involve ordinary people, and appeal to more than just sci-fi fans. Over the years he has written everything from newspaper articles, comic strips and radio drama to short stories and fan fiction.  He is also a proud Whovian (Dr. Who fan) and Trekkie (Star Trek fan).  He and his wife plan to celebrate their tenth anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony Star Trek style; he will wear a dress Admiral’s uniform and she will wear a Klingon wedding dress.

Steve lives in the Lincoln Park community with his wife Donna (author of You Lost Me @ Hello, Actionable principals that move you beyond Networking) and a cat to be named later.
