He was raised in a small town in Indiana, graduated from Indiana University at Bloomington, spent twenty-one years in the U.S. Army while being married and raising two wonderful boys, and spent ten years teaching the middle-school grades. During these years after teaching, he has been fortunate enough to change the direction of his life—twice.
The first change was when he decided to become an author. Steve self published two novels. The first is a very “dark” and suspenseful crime novel: Double Sided. The second novel, The Gas Conspiracy, is not quite as dark, but is just as suspenseful. Both of these novels met with critical acclaim from readers.
The second change of direction occurred when Steve decided to write fantasy and children’s books instead of crime novels. He spent three years perfecting two novels in a genre he calls science fantasy. Grandpa’s Portal takes place in your own backyard, thus the fantasy. And if you liked this one, Debbie’s Choice, the sequel, expands Grandpa’s magical world to include a shift in time and space.
Steve will be publishing a couple of children’s stories very soon. Written for very young readers, these humorous stories continue Grandpa’s antics. They contain approximately 1000 words, twenty pages, and ten pictures. These stories bring to life a series called “Grandpa’s Tall Tales.” Read excerpts at www.stevemessman.com.view less
