Steve Goldsmith


SteveG has lived several lives: military brat, high‑school dropout, Air Force tech, Silicon Valley start‑up survivor, math teacher, art‑gallery owner, flower‑shop co‑conspirator, and now caretaker of a botanical garden, butterfly sanctuary, and animal rescue center in Costa Rica. Somewhere along the way, he started writing—and never stopped.

His fiction blends myth, theology, memory, and mischief, moving across genres with the enthusiasm of someone who never learned the rules. He is the author of Elba Kramer, The Last Heretic, Dear Dairy, Forty‑Two Flash Fever Dreams, The Infernal Twins Cycle, and The Old One and The Hunger.

He writes during his endless procession of seven‑day weekends, accompanied by a happy dog, unreliable Wi‑Fi, and the occasional tropical absurdity.

It’s working so far.

The Infernal Twins: A Series of Divine Miscommunications

Every family has its problems. Some argue about chores. Some argue about money.

And some — if they happen to live in the underworld — argue about theology, prophecy, and the occasional cosmic misunderstanding.

This cycle began as a simple idea:

What if the divine and the...

Praise

Styx:
This book doesn't preach; it ambushes. And honestly? I loved every sneaky, chaotic second.

– Amazon Reader

Elba Kramer:
This book surprised me in every way. It is raw, funny, and painfully human. Elba Kramer tells his story with honesty and dark humor that feels both heartbreaking and healing. I connected with how he uses lies not to deceive, but to survive — and how truth still finds its way through. The “Elder Elba” voice adds a brilliant touch, like the truth talking back. It’s not just a memoir — it’s a reminder that every scar hides a story worth hearing. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.

– Janice P

Styx & Stonez:
Styx and Stones are two bickering twins in the underworld. Their mom is the Queen of the underworld and has come up with a way to teach them a lesson. My favorite part of this book was the witty dialogue between the twins. It made me laugh at time, but it also made me think. In that regard, it amazed me. Rare is something that can teach you and at the same time make you laugh. I highly recommend this short book.
