About the author
Steve M.
9 books17 followersSteve here. I may or may not be from Earth. My earth mother believed that her baby was swapped in the hospital.
It would explain a lot.
I was born/landed in Mississippi but spent my formative years in Perth, Australia. I've been traveling ever since, having recently finished ten years in London. Some places just look better from a rear-view mirror. I'm from one of those.
My life is powered by curiosity mostly, along with an aversion to rules and a healthy disrespect for authority. Even as a kid I was attracted to the open window of the old abandoned beach house not far from where we lived. My earth mother calls me an 'over-educated delinquent'. While I disagree others do not. You can never have enough education.
I write crime thrillers from the criminal perspective because it's great fun to think like a criminal. Hardhearted, calculating, and mean. Who lives? Who dies? Who's to blame? Writing while smiling happens a lot with these stories. The bad ass who breaks down in tears with a gun pressed against his forehead. Such lovely ideas bring a smile to my face.
I also write Satirical Science Fiction because deep down I'm a smart ass. Many things don't make sense yet we do them anyway. Making fun of sacred cows is fun to do and acceptable if it's based in another galaxy. So I write about the chaotic mess that is the universe and the poor slubs who try to keep it running without another extinction event. I love considering 'what if', asking fundamental questions and examining alternatives to those we're taught/brainwashed to believe.
We must consider the possibility that the universe is broken. No, not at a molecular, spatial, or temporal level. But at a much more basic level, there is a crack in the logic of it. Doesn't that bring a smile? Are we just a simulation?
Finally I write Dystopian/Utopian fiction. It's my belief that we have been in a dystopia for many years now and it has become more apparent recently.
I've had many jobs in my life. Everything from making pizzas to being a longshoreman, to implementing overpriced IT projects for major corporations. Writing is the only job that doesn't suck. Well the marketing part sucks but the creative part is splendid and the reason I do it.
I live in Florida with Barbara and three cats: Lizzy, Casey, and Beebles. But I’m always planning our next move.

Lioness by gifted Author Steve M is a very well written book, with very well developed characters, and very interesting ploy/storyline. Female protagonist Anna, suffers as a victim of a thrill killer of her Husband and comes up for air, stands her ground and goes after killer. Mystery and Intrigue continue through out book where Author delivers a great ending. Anna lived life on her own terms by her own well developed ethics and holds the police officials feet to the fire. She is undaunted in that effort and Chief Loudain is beside himself as he rages to his subordinate because there is nothing he can do about it, and is in my opinion a great scene in the book. In spite of it all Author Steve M also includes bits of humor in the story. Written around social issues that are prevalent today in modern America, this story certainly gives the reader a keen eye from one point of view. Great read. Don’t miss this one!

Revenge is a coldblooded thing, but it was a need Anna had.
This book is lewd, violent and bloody. It also is loving, philosophical and thought-provoking. Who is a Revolutional, an Anarchist? How would they look and act? Anna encouraged everyone to show her. Then someone showed her violent inhuman behavior and Pete appeared. Don't pass up this tale. I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Excellent revenge story!
Although it might not seem like it, but I am all for a good revenge story and this book is exactly that!! The author has a unique style of writing where he says what he wants. I found it to be a good change to read something that wasn't being censorshipped by proofreaders. The book is definitely full of non stop action as the main character goes after her revenge. Even better that it's a women getting the revenge. Great story!!

unique and new
Probably a truer look at crime than most portray. It's gritty and extremely believeable. It does live up to its subtitle but that fine by me because as I said, it's realistic. I enjoyed the reality twist and really like Andy which is bizarre in this day and time as most cops would rather kill than try to understand. I read this nonstop, which is not me at all.
