In his younger life, Steve was nomadic, crisscrossing the United States in all four directions, in the process racking up hundreds of often unbelievable real-life experiences that he incorporates into his novels through one character’s memories. Steve lives in a cabin on Elk River, a place he calls Solitaire, which often adds its own history to the mix. This self-labeled riverman will tell you Solitaire is his diamond in the rough and has kept him relatively sane through the years.

Steve was born in Washington D.C. but raised in southwest Missouri, where his roots are. After being married three times, he went to school, became an attorney, and married his wife Linda of twenty-nine years. They reside in the country with their cats, Kitty and Major Tom.
