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).

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rivals on the Waves (Game On!) (Paperback)

Luke McCoy thinks he is the best surfer but when he is in a competition, he finds out that one of the girls that goes to his school is competing against him. After the competiton, they are both chosen to represent their school. After the competition ends sooner then expected for one of them, the other one realizes that he was really mean to the other one.

I thought it was a good book that showed that you REALLY should think before you fight back to get even. We can really be mean and hurtful to others without even thinking about what could happen. We should talk to God.
