Steven Hutson

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, between Hollywood Boulevard and Route 66. From a young age I found my calling as a storyteller; poems, articles, business letters, advertising copy, and lame excuses. But like most writers, I kept a day job; in-between gigs I found gainful employment as a clerk typist, vitamin buyer, waiter, forklift operator, lifeguard, bookkeeper, grocery manager, printer's apprentice, and meat cutter. Oh, and I went to college for a while with a major in business. But the muse didn't give up on me, and in time I had a couple of books published. One thing led to another; I edited hundreds of books for others and managed a writers’ conference for several years, making many valuable contacts along the way. I've mentored hundreds of aspiring authors, and I speak often at writers' events. Swimming, gardening, and cooking keep my hands busy in-between. I live in sunny Southern California with my wife Ruth and son Bradley.
