Quirky & queer writer

About Me

So I'm a published author (www.steveberman.com). I'm shy and goofy.

So be on the look out for my newest short stories. I have a young adult short story "Bittersweet" in the latest issue of the Journal of Mythic Arts. Also, in the forthcoming anthology Japanese Dreams, my story "A Troll on a Mountain with a Girl" is about a 40 yr old gay man who wants to commit suicide by being eaten by a monster.

My debut novel just released. It's called Vintage, A Ghost Story, and it's about a lonely gay teen in New Jersey who finds himself involved with the specter of a boy from 1957 who died in a highway accident. So it's you're looking for a romantic but spooky story, I would recommend it.

My Interests
