About the Author

Steven Maus lives in Tempe, Arizona. His first novel, a fantasy adventure titled Branchwater, was published in August of 2007, and his fantasy collection Madeline City and other tales was published in Janurary 2009. Maus is a 22-year-old student of creative writing at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, and urges young writers to go to school. “If you don’t go to school and learn the craft of writing and storytelling, you’re cheating yourself big time,” he says. Maus is currently working on the next book in the Branchwater storyline, as well as several other independent projects.

Madeline City and other tales (ISBN 978-1-4327-3806-8, Outskirts Press, 2009) can be purchased through local and online bookstores. For more information visit Click here, or email Steven Maus at Click here.
