Meet the Author

Read my novel, and you'll find out more about me than you'd ever want to know. But here are a few more facts:

* I live in Denver, Colorado.

* Though white, I grew up on a Native American Reservation in Arizona (with the Tohono O'odham -- then known as the Papago -- tribe)

* I helped produce, wrote the scripts for, and did much of the grunt work for a locally produced TV sitcom (it was admittedly cheesy, but a WHOLE lot of fun!)

* I wrote the script for a silent film that is now included in the library of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and several short films of my own

* I make my living as a techie. Until I can get rich as a writer

* Writing is my passion. I don't know why. I guess I think I have something to say others might care about. If I'm wrong, please don't tell me.

* For some years I was probably the most successful movie writer that NEVER got a #%@! Hollywood movie produced! Close, but no cigar.

* I'm married (sorry ladies) with an awesome wife and two sweet daughters.

    OFF ROAD

    This is a book written by a man for a man. Paul Archer devotes his whole self to his business, seeing relationships and commitment as a weakness that might result in financial insecurity. He vows he will never sink to the status of his "trailer park" family whom he has avoided for the last several years. But when he is coerced into an off-road camping trip, he comes to identify with his estranged Bible thumping brother and big gun, big truck, dying father.

    Steve Wright has brought his characters to life. The reader can almost see the old man with skin jiggling below his chin. The road trip keeps you clinging to your seat so as not to go over a cliff with him. I would gladly give this book five stars if I didn't let my Christianity get in the way. The one brother who claims to be a born-again Christian, drinks alcohol and takes God's name in vain. Although he only does this a couple of times, it offended me.
