I've been writing and reading stories ever since I was old enough to spell. About twenty years ago, I decided to get serious about it. I took multiple creative writing classes in college, and though I needed to get "honest work" to support myself, I still worked on my stories when I had the time. In the past decade, I've self-published three novellas in my Seffin Phel fantasy series, as well as short stories in various other genres. I have many other works in various stages of development, from characters without a story, to worlds without characters, to plots without worlds *or* characters. Other stories are nearing completion and will see publication by the end of 2022. In 2018, I started recording my thoughts on various entertainment topics in a personal podcast called "Stephen Talks". By the end of that year, I had decided to become more serious in my efforts to share my thoughts on a broad range of topics, and in 2019 I made "Stephen Talks" a podcast for politics, current events, and even reviews and recommendations as well. If you would like me to review or even edit your own works of fiction, you can contact me for rates and conditions here or through my website's email: stephen@stephens.website
