I suppose it’ll be important to validate that I know something about writing, otherwise you might as well learn tap dance from an elephant. CAN YOU LEARN TAP DANCE FROM AN ELEPHANT? I want that. Anyone? In the comments, if you will.

I’m the author of Anointed: The Passion of Timmy Christ, CEO and Flutter: An Epic of Mass Distraction (Mercury Retrograde Press). I’ve been featured by NPR,The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Publishers Weekly, Baby Got Books, Shelf Awareness, and nominated for the 2010 Sidewise Award for Alternate Fiction. I’ve been yelled at by a few editors, laughed at by an agent or two, and spoken quite rudely to by more than a couple of my characters.

Currently, I’m peddling the first of a five book fantasy series for youngsters called The Storyteller and the Shadowheart of Ahriman, while working on a new Young Adult project called The Progenitor (or Specimen A, I can't decide). You can follow my progress on that one on my blog at http://zacharysteele.com/blog/ and let me know what you think.

I’m always a student. Some of what I say might make sense. The rest might fly better than a spoonful of sketty at the dinner table. I have no idea if that’s a good thing or not. That’s for you to decide.
