Welcome to the site of Steve McCardell. This site is an introduction to my writing -- a place where I'll share excerpts of novels (after green lights from my publisher), free short stories, and free poems, and will post any major news about the novels I'm developing.

Some of the free reading is available to everyone. Some of it's only available to those on my mailing list, so I encourage you to sign up on this page. Members of the list will also be asked for ideas or feedback from time to time; will get some sneak peeks and some "behind the scenes looks" at what's involved in getting the books published and marketed; will get to take part in contests with prizes; etc. But these are only for those on my mailing list! So I hope you'll sign up.

Now, writing -- the kind I think is worth a reader's time -- often asks that a writer know a little something about the world. The little that I know reflects a lot of exploring time. And along the way, I stumble across some great things I think worth sharing with people, regardless of whether they're fans or can barely choke down my work. So this site shares some of those nifty finds, and I hope you'll check them out while you're here.

Last but far from least, if you want access to all of my awfully insightful commentary on the world around us, check out my blog. It's my contribution to the online glut of words.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steve.
