    Steven Thomas Dykes

    Steven Thomas Dykes was born in 1982 to Larry and Dinah Dykes, in the city of Topeka, Kansas. At the tender age of 18, he self-published his first novel, "In The Town of Comfortability." In the past decade since he has been focusing on writing poetry for submission to publishers, for which he has received recognition from several companies, with awards, publisher's choices, and inductions into poetry societies. He has also been seeking self-education, for which his studies include history, psychology, philosophy, current events, poetry and classical tales of literature. Symbolism has been a mainstay in all of his writings. This is his third publication.
