It took me 56 years before I wrote and published my first book,I am now working on two more. I have been married for the past 26 years to my best friend and confidante, Mary Ellen. I have worked in the healthcare field most of my life when not doing other things.
My other obsession is drumming, which I do whenever possible. I have been a drummer since I was seven or eight years old.
My life has been blessed by two sons from a previous marriage.
Writers who have influenced me in my life and writing are Hunter S. Thompson and Walter Isaacson. Non-fiction books have influenced me the most.
Although I like writing, I do not call myself a writer.I reserve that title for real writers, who can spell and use proper punctuation. I am more of a story

I'm not holding anything back

Writing a tell all book can be a freeing and cathartic experience. That is until your family reads it, and sometimes when your friends read it.
Still, I stick by it and apologize for nothing. It's my life, warts and all, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
On balance I think there is far more good than ugly, but people often only remember the ugly.

“You only go through High School once, but if you go through the way we did, that's enough.”
Steven C. Smith, Off The Rails: Excerpts From My Life

“I just want to this about that.”
Steven C. Smith, Off The Rails: Excerpts From My Life

“After a short time I felt my truck began to move. The force of the water and the rising floodwaters lifted me and my truck off the road and through an orchard, bumping into trees, flood debris and who knows what else.”
Steven C. Smith, Off The Rails: Excerpts From My Life

“The most important thing is to be whatever you are without shame.”
Rod Steiger

“After a short time I felt my truck began to move. The force of the water and the rising floodwaters lifted me and my truck off the road and through an orchard, bumping into trees, flood debris and who knows what else.”
Steven C. Smith, Off The Rails: Excerpts From My Life

“I wasn’t living on the edge, I had gone over it. Insanity was now the norm and I had to keep feeding it in order to maintain the new domain I had created for myself. I had one eye on the road and one on the rear view mirror when I wasn’t pre-occupied with my beer, cigarettes or car stereo.”
