Steve Zuckerman

Steve Zuckerman has spent a lifetime telling stories, first through music and now through fiction. He began his professional career at nineteen, composing music for animated segments on *Sesame Street*. Over the years, he scored films ranging from the beloved *Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore* to the wonderfully campy creature feature *Spawn of the Slithis*, while building a long career as a composer, orchestrator, and creative storyteller.

Today, Steve writes mysteries, thrillers, fantasy, and science fiction. His work includes the supernatural *Djinn and Tonnick Mysteries*, the small-town *Kara Ellison Mysteries*, and the quirky *Alien Roadkill* series. Across genres, his stories blend suspense, humor, memorable characters, and the occasional brush with the impossible.

When he's not writing, Steve can usually be found exploring new story ideas, tinkering in the studio, or wondering how his characters managed to get themselves into so much trouble.
