How do you deal with writer’s block?
Steve Zell That one's easy :) I tend to work on two or three book ideas at once, as well as music and other projects. As long as I keep juggling, the work flows - each project feeds the others.

looking to read your other books. When will they be republished? I really enjoyed Urban Limit and am looking forward to reading what you have written and any future works.
Steve Zell Hi Jennifer - glad you asked! WiZrD, my first, is still out there in hardcover and paperback on Amazon and Barnes&Noble and the e-book is available for the Kindle and on iTunes thanks to Macmillan. I'm currently narrating the audio version of Running Cold, and expect that and the paperback to be available in March 2017. Right now RC is Kindle only, but the nook version should be coming soon. WiZrD's fairly long...so I probably won't tackle the audio/Audible version until later in the year - likely October/November.

Is Urban Limit available in paperback?
Steve Zell Hi Marilyn,
Not yet! But...it will very soon be available in an audio-book format :). Really crazy for me reading my book out loud - but I'm getting help from my friend Neil Shaw who has done it for years - so that helps!

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Steve Zell I’m fascinated by the crossover between people who develop battle skills through mental challenges like computer games and those who practice those skills through physical games, as winter pentathletes and biathletes do. In Urban Limit, the main characters are twins who represent opposite sides of that coin. My daughter, who slaughtered me constantly in video games, but who also lettered in 4 sports in high school, was certainly an influence. But another influence is Oregon itself, where you’re always footsteps away from a beautiful wilderness that can turn deadly on a dime...
