Stephan Michael Loy is the author of several positively reviewed novels and novellas in several genres. He's been described as "Dan Brown and Dean Koontz smashed together in a particle accelerator." He writes as comfortably in high fantasy and science fiction as he does in satire and romance. Not only does he NOT believe in genre shackles, he strives fervently to advocate for indie publishing. Indie published art can be awesome; it can be better than stuff from the publishing houses. Consequently, Steve strives to make his own art an example of that standard. Steve lives in Indianapolis, Indiana with his awesome wife and his faithful Greyhound.
