About Steve

I am a versatile writer who can take vision, yours or mine and experiment with genres. Haven written multiple story outlines that can be shaped into screenplays and/or movie shorts. Growing up on the mean streets of New York City during the roaring 1970's afforded me unlimited life experience. I wrote about how I survived those years, as well as a collection of fictional shorts.

Other personal writings are at

Also visit to see writings on artwork sent to me from around the word. It is here that I create a "flash fictional" work about that art.
