Steven studied at NOCCA and LSU in Louisiana before earning his undergraduate and graduate degrees in English from Kansas State University. He started his writing career as a lowly student worker for the prestigious literary journal The Southern Review. If you received a formal rejection letter in the mid-2000s, he probably sealed the envelope. His Ezra James mystery series is available from The Wild Rose Press and Harlequin Books.

He lives in Southwest Kansas with his wife and four children.

This time, I'm taking my detectives--both Ezra and Lucia--in two different directions: a missing person and an apparent suicide. Both cases involve Finnish-nationals, so I'll also be introducing a Finnish KRP agent to work alongside Lucia and Ezra. But don't dismay, because Remy has a role to play as well! We may even find out his backstory--specifically how he earned that wicked scar on his face.(less)

“The ultimate meaning to which all stories refer has two faces: the continuity of life, the inevitability of death.”
Italo Calvino

“but sanctity is not developing oneself to the utmost, nor is it an achievement of one's own doing. It is at first a void which one discovers in oneself and accepts and which God then comes to fill in proportion to how much one makes oneself receptive to God's bounty.”

“Not mentioned by Knight and Lomas is that it was in “Dark Age” Europe that the university system, a gift of Western civilization to the world, was developed by the Catholic Church.”

“Western civilization’s admiration for the written word and for the classics comes to us from the Catholic Church that preserved both through the barbarian invasions.”
