Join us for this week's author interview as our host engages in conversation with Steve Bellinger, author behind "The Chronocar" and many more! Discover the inspiration behind his literary creations, gain valuable advice for aspiring authors, and much more. Happy Reading and Writing!
Steve was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago by a single mom who worked for a printing company. She often brought books and magazines home for him and his siblings to read. One day she brought home a novel by Isaac Asimov, I. Robot. At the age of 12, Steve fell in love with science fiction and writing. Since then he has written newspaper articles, radio drama, short stories, Sunday School lessons, training manuals, fan fiction, and four novels (so far). He lives in Chicago with his wife Dr. Donna, who is his biggest fan.
