My name is Stephen Mark Monteith. I currently live in Virginia Beach, VA, and have for most of my life. It’s a perfect little city for me, with a balance of buildings and nature, and within driving distance of plenty of other interesting places. When I travel, it’s usually either to visit friends or to attend sci-fi/fantasy conventions. It’s my hope to one day be a featured guest at these conventions and not just an attendee.
I’ve written stories in various fiction genres, mostly sci-fi and fantasy, and am also working on a long-term multi-book project. While you wait for my books to become available in print form, links to my ebooks are available on the Stephen Writes tab of this site. They can be read on all platforms that support the epub format. I also have plans to publish adult-oriented stories. Details for those can be found on the Hardcover tab.
Here are the links to all of my social media accounts (that are associated with my writing life, at least). I’ll be sharing a lot of my thoughts on my Bluesky account; mostly insights on writing for anyone interested in discussing it. I some times visit Reddit to see what my various fandoms are up to. I also have a Vero account, which I use less frequently. And I also have a Patreon account, if you’d like to support me. Anything that’s posted here will be posted there for free viewing, but there will also be content that’s exclusive for paying followers, such as posts about character development and worldbuilding, insights into my own writing process, and the opportunity to commission personalized stories.
My podcast has been a chance for me to offer my perspective on sci-fi and fantasy topics in such a way as to promote positive interactions, entertainment, and criticism. I’ve also used it to address pressing social issues, offering my perspective and guidance. I won’t be making any new episodes, though, as I will be phasing it out in favor of my Patreon posts. The podcasts I’ve made in the past will still be available to listen to on the Stephen Talks tab.
If you have any questions for me, you can leave a comment somewhere on the site, or you can ask me on social media. Any business-related inquiries can be submitted to my email, stephen@stephens.website.
