Steve Altier is a bestselling paranormal, mystery, and suspense writer. He is known for his multi-award-winning series, The Lizardville Ghost Stories, and Amazon Bestseller, The Ghost Hunter. Steve grew up in a small town in central Pennsylvania. His parents owned the damkeeper's house on Lizardville Road. Across the street was an old, broken-down dam and the remnants of the ax factory. Steve and his buddies spent many days exploring the abandoned factory. Unexplained things happened when Steve was a child—inspiring his love for everything spooky and many of his stories. Steve lives in Florida with his wife, four daughters, and a couple of cats. You can visit my world at www.stevealtier.com
