    about me ----

    [SIZE=medium]Steven Burgauer, Biography[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]Avid hiker, Eagle Scout, and founder of a mutual fund, Steven Burgauer resides in Florida. A graduate of Illinois State University and the New York Institute of Finance, Steve writes science fiction and historic fiction. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]Burgauer’s The Road to War: Duty & Drill, Courage & Capture is based on the journals of an American WWII infantryman who landed at Normandy, was wounded and taken prisoner by the Nazis. “Publishers Daily Reviews” says of it: Five-plus unequivocal stars to The Road to War. [/SIZE][SIZE=medium]It’s an extraordinary read that everyone should enjoy[/SIZE].

    [SIZE=medium]A member of the Society of Midland Authors, Steven is included in The Dictionary of Midwestern Literature, Volume 2: Dimensions of the Midwestern Literary Imagination and the ALA’s Librarian’s Guide to Cyborgs, Aliens, and Sorcerers[/SIZE] by Derek M. Buker.

    [SIZE=medium]Some of his SF titles include The Grandfather Paradox, The Railguns of Luna[/SIZE], [SIZE=medium]The Fornax Drive[/SIZE], and [SIZE=medium]SKULLCAP[/SIZE]. Other books of his include [SIZE=medium]The Night of the Eleventh Sun[/SIZE], a Neanderthal’s first encounter with man, and [SIZE=medium]The Wealth Builder’s Guide: An Investment Primer[/SIZE]. Steven contributed to the zany, serial mystery, [SIZE=medium]Naked Came the Farmer[/SIZE], headlined by Philip Jose Farmer.

    [SIZE=medium]His work has been reviewed in many places, including LOCUS, the PEORIA JOURNAL STAR, the EUREKA LITERARY MAGAZINE, PUBLISHERS DAILY REVIEWS and PROMETHEUS, the journal of the Libertarian Futurist Society. SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE (June 2001) says of his The Railguns of Luna[/SIZE]:

    [SIZE=11pt]Steven Burgauer writes old style science fiction in which heroes and villains are easily identified, the action is fast and furious, and the plot twists and turns uncontrollably. His newest is the story of a crack team of military specialists who discover that the brilliant but warped Cassandra Mubarak is planning to use advanced scientific devices to seize control of the world.[/SIZE] To stop her, they must infiltrate her heavily guarded headquarters and rescue the fair maiden in distress. This is action adventure written straightforwardly and not meant to be heavily literary or provide pithy commentary on the state of humanity[SIZE=11pt].[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=medium]Don D’Ammassa[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]When Steven lived in Illinois, the State of Illinois Library included him in a select group of authors invited to the state’s Authors’ Day. He has often been a speaker and panel member at public library events and science-fiction conventions all across the country.[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=medium]His websites are:[/SIZE]

    Are you sure you want your email address as your user name. You could very well get loaded up with spam. Let me know if you want to change it.

    Welcome Steven, great to have an author aboard.

    I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and edited your username. Having an email as handle is a very good way to get bombarded by spam email.

    I have already discovered that to be true. Can you suggest a solution for this? Thank you.
