Steven Fernand grew up in a factory town amid the hills of Massachusetts. In his early twenties, he wandered the East Coast as a singer-songwriter, roguishly funded by seasonal work in carnival games. After quitting the midway, his interest shifted from song to prose, and he took to reading widely and hungrily.
In the Virgin Islands, he found work as a sandal maker. Returning stateside in 1982, Fernand designed a line of handmade footwear, and eventually set up shop in Northern Michigan. In 2006, he sold his business and began to write this novel.
Fernand now spends his summers in Michigan, and the rest of the year in Gulfport, Florida, where he performs his reinterpretations of some of the better 20th-century pop songs, and peruses the books of Carl Jung, James Hillman, and Joseph Campbell.
