Summary:

Steve is a self-taught graphic artist and web designer, who started writing as a hobby when he began to have trouble finding things he wanted to read! His studies of social and technological history give him a unique and realistic perspective of the future that punctuates his writing. He is urged on by his wife, spoken fondly of by family and friends, and tolerated by his cat.

On E-books:

E-books represent the natural progression of literature and technology. Electronic files allow people to take entire libraries of books with them at any time, to read whenever they please. Electronic files also have the advantages of allowing readers to reformat the literature to suit them, whether it be in unique formats, preferred fonts and text sizes, or even other languages. In addition, e-books are environmentally sound, as they do not require the production of paper, do not require physical storage space, do not need physical shipping, and do not create waste when thrown away.

Just as computers, the Internet, and other communications technologies are transforming life as we know it, I foresee e-books taking literature in new and (probably) unexpected directions in the 21st century. Publishers must accept that print has largely reached its practical limits, and they must embrace electronic technologies in order for the publishing industry to continue to develop. Instead of waiting for traditional publishers, I have developed the Right Brane ePublishing model in order to demonstrate a workable electronic publishing system.
