Steve Dunn Hanson grew up in a small Idaho farm town and a ragged neighborhood in St. Louis. He and his wife, Joyce, raised their family in Orange County, California, and they currently live on a scenic hill in northeast Washington. Steve graduated from BYU in economics and received an MA degree in political behavior from Arizona State. He served a Church mission as a young man to Australia and with his wife many years later to Romania. Steve has been a stake president and member of a temple presidency in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is a landscape photographer, blogger, and the author of several published works including articles, poetry, hymns, novels, and self-help books. He and his wife are the parents of eight children, 28 grandchildren, and great grandchildren keep coming. He has a hopper full of "reality" including having served for 15 years as a volunteer jail chaplain and flew with a former major U.S. presidential candidate in his small plane when an engine conked out. All of this is fodder for his writings. You can find his blogs and poetry on his website: stevedunnhanson.com His published books include: The Mission Joy, the Other Side of Sorrow 10 Principles of Love—To Help You Parent Your Adult Children Observations: The Book of Mormon The Course of Fate trilogy: FIND, SHATTER, and GATHER Thanks for visiting, and as you read my books, if you feel so inclined, I'd appreciate a review.
