Raz Steel

Raz Steel was born in a chalet in Frisco, Colorado. His alter-ego was born in the very hospital frequented by Dr. Lara West, the heroine in his upcoming book release - LOVE WITHOUT BLOOD, and a few of her vampire friends. A storyteller his entire life, Raz finally decided to put stories to paper. He’s a pilot, a teacher, a recycler, and a dad. He holds a degree in Philosophy from Lafayette College and currently resides in Pennsylvania. Raz has owned and operated a family retail business for over thirty years. His writing career began after he became a pilot. Being terrified of heights (anything over the third rung of a ladder) the choice didn’t seem difficult: fly or write. He tortured himself to get his pilot’s license to cure his fear, and now feels qualified to offer advice to other acrophobiacs - “Let me assure you, if there’s anything more terrifying than flying in a single engine airplane 3000 feet above the ground, it’s flying alone in a single engine airplane 3000 feet above the ground.” You have to fly solo to get your license. What could he have possibly been thinking? During his first ride in a single engine plane, by way of explanation, the instructor (Raz swears he didn’t look a day over 15) said, “Let me show you what happens when we stall the plane.” “What! Are you nuts? I don’t want to know what happens when we stall the plane.” Yet he persisted in getting his license. What could he have possibly been thinking? Raz studies everything and anything he finds of interest: tennis, ballroom dancing, psychology . . . vampires. He finds humor in all aspects of life and indeed includes it in all of his books. Raz is currently working on several new projects. The father of two, Raz states that although his kids are grown-up, they’ll always be “kids,” and that he’ll always be “Dad.”
