Steve worked in television running his own outdoor adventure program, and left it all behind to become a full-time author. With a wife and six kids.
Seriously.
Sound nuts? Well that's who we're dealing with here!
Steven Heumann, founder of Super Heumann Creative graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in broadcasting and immediately put it to good use. He began working as a freelance writer for television production house Chadwick Booth and Company and worked his way up to Senior Producer. Working in this position allowed Steve to oversee the creation of a new half-hour program every week, one of the most demanding workloads in television. This gave him the opportunity to write extensively, edit, film, and even host in front of the camera for many years, honing his craft. There are quite literally over 500 individual episodes that bare his mark, along with a dozen documentaries, government projects, and ad campaigns.
Despite his impressive television pedigree, Steve has spent a good portion of his time as an author, writing the contemporary science fiction novel 'Paper Heroes', as well as the popular 'Gavin Baller' series, and being published in Immortal Works newest Fairy Tale compilation, 'Of Fae and Fate'. He has directed almost a dozen short films, winning numerous international film awards in the process, including Best Screenplay and Best Director.
Steve always says that without a great script you can't have a great movie, and so he has worked for over a decade to sharpen his writing craft by penning several full-length scripts and prepping them for production. Between his short feature works, full movie manuscripts, and television writing, Steve has produced over one thousand scripts in the past twelve years, with the vast majority of them going into full production. Whether writing, producing, or directing, Steven Heumann has proven himself a force to be reckoned with in the television and film-making worlds.

This was a terrifying concept. If tech like this existed it would be used in the exact same way it did in the book which is the scariest part. Rich people already think of poor people as expendable so it isn't as much of a stretch as I'd like. C-Gin was one of my favorite characters. He's not a good person but he's honest about it and doesn't pretend to be anything he's not...including innocent. C-Gin's lack of pretense makes him an excellent foil for Anstead. There's only one innocent in the entire book so prepare for a lot of morally gray versus morally bankrupt individuals. The ending is fairly ambiguous since it ends on a beginning and leaves you with a myriad of questions. the sheer number of twists that were pulled off was incredible. Every time I thought I knew where things were going they went another direction often doing something I hadn't even considered. Aside from the villains, Anstead was the character I most wanted to throat punch. He's incredibly whiny but everyone else makes up for that and a few of them even call him on it.
