Steven E. Wedel

Steven E. Wedel began craving fame and fortune in the literary world when he was in high school. After writing his way through careers as a machinist, journalist, corporate writer, public relations specialist, and now as a high school English teacher, he’s decided to keep writing despite the lack of wealth and notoriety. Wedel has published over 20 books, mostly in the adult horror genre, but he’s also written for the young adult, children’s, Western, and thriller markets. He’s dabbled in other genres using pseudonyms. His non-fiction writing includes how-to articles for writers, literary criticism, and hundreds of articles for print newspapers and online sites. In 2004 Wedel earned a master’s degree in liberal studies, creative writing emphasis, from the University of Oklahoma. He earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1999, and graduated from Enid High School in 1984. He is a lifelong Oklahoman, father of four, with three grandsons. He currently lives in Midwest City, Oklahoma, with his dogs Bubba and Bear. He likes to kayak and camp when he doesn’t have papers to grade. He'd still take the fame and fortune if it comes his way ...
