David H. Steinberg

David H. Steinberg grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut, entered Yale at age 16, and earned his law degree from Duke University, where he served as editor-in-chief of the law review. Despite his professed intelligence, it took him four years of practicing law in Atlanta and New York to realize he hated being a lawyer. He quit cold turkey and drove across country with his dad to attend USC's Peter Stark Producing Program.

Just when he'd blown through his savings, Steinberg sold his first screenplay "Slackers" which went on to become a cult classic movie (read: bomb) starring Devon Sawa, Jason Schwartzman, and Jamie King. And thus began his wildly uneven teen comedy career, which includes several films in the "American Pie" franchise, "National Lampoon's Barely Legal," and the remake of the 1980's classic "Porky's."

In addition to his raunchy sex comedies, Steinberg has written several respectable animated movies like "Puss in Boots" and "Tinker Bell and the Pixie Hollow Games." As a director, Steinberg made his feature directorial debut on the romantic comedy "Miss Dial." And in television, Steinberg has written for The Simpsons and Yo-Kai Watch and is the creator, executive producer, and showrunner of the comedy-drama-mystery "No Good Nick,' streaming on Netflix.

"Last Stop This Town" is his first novel.
