Hey! I’m Stephen, and it’s so awesome to finally meet you.
If we were in person, I probably would have already shouted something ridiculous at you and wrapped you up in a hug. So if you don’t get anything else from the stuff you read on these pages, just know this: in life as well as on this website, I’m so glad you chose to be here.
First, I’m a follower of Jesus and most passionate about helping people heal from pain, recognize their worth, and live with purpose. My vision for publishing books from the beginning has included taking a portion of the royalties I earn and reinvesting them into humanitarian organizations to support them financially and help raise awareness for their causes. So if we’re talking who I am or what I’m about, it all centers around instilling value into people.
Writing wise, I’m a multi-genre author who explores themes of faith, hope, loss, and love. I’ve published four books to date: To Dance (Christian Fiction), The Space Between Fire and Ashes (YA Contemporary), The Bat and the Mule (Children's Literature), and Demons Know My Name (Spiritual Nonfiction).
On the flip side of things, I’m in my 14th year of teaching and currently teach 7th grade social studies at a middle school in our hometown. If I’m not in the classroom, reading, or writing, then I’m most likely pursuing life together with my wife, Megan, our son, Carson Bo, or our incredible community of friends. My family is Southern born and bred and currently lives in Tennessee.
