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)
