Steven

My life has been pretty simple. I grew up in Alabama and graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor's in Advertising. I have spent about the last ten years in web development. In 1998, a friend of mine and I started a web design company we ran for three or four years before deciding to close it due to the demands of school. Since then, I stayed in the web working with various companies in Alabama. I worked for a brief period with Southern Progress, namely with Southern Living magazine and Health magazine, in their web departments. While there, I also wrote for Southern Living magazine, Health.com., and the company's internal newsletter. I write as much as I can. For the last five years, I have been working on my first novel. I am on the third revision now and hope to be finished with this draft by the end of the year. I also write short fiction, though not as frequently as I used to due to the time I spend on the novel. My goal is to have my novel published in the next three years. Other interests include: History (particularly medieval and ancient civlizations), Reading, Foreign Language (I currently speak Spanish but plan to learn as many as I can), Landscape Photography, the outdoors, sports (especially college football), and Travel.

Today in Medieval History

I didn’t get around to posting this over the weekend, but I wanted to go back to September 11 for a look at that day in history. One of the most well-known events (made popular by the movie Braveheart) was the Battle of Stirling Bridge. The Battle of Stirling Bridge… Read More »Today in Medieval History

World-ology

World-ology is a site for interactive maps, timelines, and articles of world history. The interactive maps are especially interesting as they chart a region, period, or event in history along a specific timeline. As you change the dates on the timeline, the maps change correspondingly. Naturally, I find the Middle… Read More »World-ology

The latest version of my novel is complete. I finished it over the weekend. My next steps are to go back and edit chapters one and two, since I overhauled those the most in this latest revision. In fact Chapter 1 was an entirely new chapter I wrote from scratch,… Read More »Novel Update
