Steven M. Silver

Steven M. Silver, Ph.D., is a psychologist specializing in trauma treatment and is a fiction and poetry writer. He held faculty positions in several universities in psychology and history, is published in the fields of psychotherapy, terrorism, and military history, and participated in humanitarian relief work from Bangladesh, the Balkans, Oklahoma City, and other places. His background includes serving as an Army psychologist at the age of 62 and he was a Marine Officer in Vietnam at a considerably younger age. Currently he is a consultant to the U.S. military in the area of trauma treatment.

In 1957, at the age of 13, he was introduced to science fiction by a helpful librarian at the Willoughby, Ohio, Euclid Avenue public library and read every SF book they had at the time - he was hooked.

In most of his fiction and poetry there is a strong influence from his experience as a historian, which included his first two professional publications and time spent going through the National Archives for the Historical Division of the U.S. Marine Corps looking for photographs of old aircraft.

Married, he lives up a hollow in eastern Pennsylvania with a creek running through his property and can generally be found pounding away on a keyboard while his dogs look on, unless he's out on his motorcycle trying to see if it's possible to catch the horizon. He can be contacted through his publisher's website at warpedwolf.com.
