Le Pétomane

My name is Steven Mather and currently I write thrillers and suspense. I�m joining this site because of the wonderful people I met on the ABNA 2007 (or is it 2008?) contest.

I live in Tampa, FL and I hate it. I�ve lived in Florida most of my life but have traveled a lot. I love the mountains and crisp air, obviously not something you find in the Sunshine state. I will be moving somewhere out west. If anyone has suggestions on a great place to live where there are mountains, plenty of fresh air, and not more than an hour�s drive away from a city of substance, please let me know.

I think I write great characters, plot lines, and scenes that will draw you in. I am however, grammatically challenged. My skills in that area have vastly improved after hiring a professional comma-to-content editor for my first two complete novels.

I have a publishing contract that as of today, December 24th, 2008 I have not signed. My reasons can be found on my BLOG at http://www.steven-mather.com.

I chose the screen name Le P�tomane because he�s one of my heroes. Look him up in Wikipedia, his story is compelling to anyone who believes they have no special talent. Here is the link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane

Write on, dude and dudettes
