More About the Author

My name is Steve and I am a writer. Well, actually I do a lot of other things and proportionately, maybe I'm not so much a writer as I am a guy who sold out to the man and works an 8-5, and then comes home to write. I've written eight upper elementary novels in a series called GAME ON, and contributed a really insane short story to a werewolf anthology. I've written and compiled art for a book called STAR WARS: THE ART OF DAVE DORMAN, about my longtime business partner and friend. I also contributed the introduction and some editorial skills to his most recent art book, ROLLING THUNDER: THE ART OF DAVE DORMAN. I've contributed a chapter to THE ART OF BASIL GOGOS. In addition, I am the former editor-in-chief of MONSTERSCENE magazine, a popular horror publication from the 90s. I am currently working on a YA novel called THE ROAD TO ATLANTIS about a character I created named Alex Cryss (www.alexcryss.com) and outlining an as of yet untitled novel loosely based on my childhood with a little FLASH GORDON thrown in for good measure.

I am married and I have a 23 year0old son who plays lead guitar and does some backing vocals for thre punk band, TURBOVAMPS (www.turbovamps.com).

This review is from: Full Court Pressure (Game On!) (Paperback)

This is a great series. My daughter is 7.5, a really good reader & is very sports minded compared to other girls her age. She is not interested at all in the girly girl books made for girls her age. This is a great way to keep her engaged in reading in our Christian household.
