PictureClick photo for more about Stephen
Stephen Shender   Steve turned to novel writing after a 30-year career in journalism, political and corporate speechwriting, and marketing communications. His first book is Once There Was Fire: A Novel of Old Hawaii. The novel follows the rise of Kamehameha the Great (c. 1748-1819) as he conquers the Hawaiian Islands by force of European arms and tactics to found the Kingdom of Hawaii. Beginning with Kamehameha's birth at Kokoiki in the Big Island's Kohala District, and ending with the aftermath of his death at Kailua-Kona 1819, Kamehameha’s story is told by one of his nephews from a Hawaiian perspective (as best as a haole author from Chicago can manage such a thing). Steve lives in the Monterey Bay area with his cat, parrot, and long-suffering wife, Cathy. He is presently ruminating about penning a sequel. Meanwhile, Steve is flogging his debut novel, blogging about it occasionally, and tinkering with his website.
