About the author

Steve Goldsmith

Steve Goldsmith has lived several lives: military brat and high‑school dropout, Air Force technician and Silicon Valley start‑up survivor, eighth-grade math teacher and art‑gallery owner. Today, he is the caretaker of a botanical garden, butterfly sanctuary, and animal rescue center in Costa Rica.
Somewhere along the way, he began using fiction to reconcile these disparate worlds. Whether he is dissecting institutional dogma in the 4th century, the "autofiction" of his own jagged youth, or the neurodivergent architecture of a child’s mind, SteveG explores the boundaries between what we are told and what we know to be true.

His work—spanning the Truth & Consequences Collection, the Infernal Twins satires, and his horror shorts—blends myth, theology, and mischief with the enthusiasm of someone who never learned the rules. He writes during an endless procession of seven‑day weekends, accompanied by a happy dog, unreliable Wi‑Fi, and the occasional tropical absurdity.
