Steve’s novels keep his readers on the edge of their seat with action and excitement that goes from page to page. The only intermission to the action is the romance and humor. At the same time the nonfiction aspects of Steve’s novels lets readers know they are not the only ones with their problems, gives ways for his readers to change their situations and get better, and gives them hope.

Steve loves to speak to schools where he sees the positive reactions from the students and enjoys answering questions for as long as it takes for each student to have their turn.
