Steven Reed

Captivated by story ideas, philosophy, and stretching literary concepts, Steven Reed Dahlquist yields to these pennable possibilities by getting them onto paper, for your reading pleasure. While short stories are his preferred genre (Shorts: A Moratorium On The Ordinary, ISBN 9780997791822), Steven also delves into children’s read-to books (The Wooden Toy, a story about a puppet that, through trials, discovers the real meaning of love, ISBN 9780997791808, Faith And The Runaway Gumball, a story about a little girl named Faith who helps a gumball find identity and freedom, ISBN 9780997791815), and a love story (The Lipstick Kiss, a novella about how love will find a way, ISBN 9781519634337).

Born in Seattle, Washington, Steven attended the University of Washington where he earned a bachelor of science degree. He also studied photography at the Yakima Valley Community College, and became a certified high school teacher at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Steven has been a process engineer for two years, a school teacher for four, and a licensed general contractor for 25. Writing is now his preferential activity, and that, typically, over coffee.
