Steve Berman

I was born in Philadelphia with the heat of late August, just before the month turns to serene autumn. After five years my folks abandoned the city for the suburbs of southern New Jersey. Remember that sheltered child on the block? That was me. I grew up watching both my folks reading so of course I fell in love with books. I mostly write gay speculative fiction or gay young adult stories. I've edited a lot of anthologies. A lot. But they are all quality works. I've been a finalist for the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy (for my novel Vintage, A Ghost Story), the Lambda Literary Award (for Charmed Lives and two editions of Wilde Stories), the Golden Crown Literary Award (for So Fey and Heiresses of Russ 2011), and the Shirley Jackson Award (for Where That Dark Eye Glances). I reside in Western Massachusetts with many eerie toys and spooky artwork.
