Featured Interview With Steven Donahue
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Steven Donahue was a copywriter for TV Guide magazine for 14 years. His first novel, Amanda Rio, was published in 2004. He released three novels in 2013: The Manila Strangler (Rainstorm Press), Amy the Astronaut and the Flight for Freedom (Hydra Publications), and Comet and Cupid’s Christmas Adventure (Createspace). His short story Grit was also included in the anthology Hero’s Best Friend by Seventh Star Press in 2014. Born in Philadelphia, he now resides in Bucks County with his wife, Dawn, and their numerous animals.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I fell in love with books in grade school after reading the sports novels of author Matt Christopher. I wrote sparingly in high school and college, and it wasn’t until my 30’s that I began to write seriously, starting with my novel Amanda Rio.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love books by Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Ernest Hemingway, and Richard C. Clarke. I prefer Sci-Fi stories, but I do enjoy mysteries and dramas. Bradbury and Hemingway inspire me the most and my style reflects a combination of their writing styles.
