Steve Adams - 1 post
, who finds it disconcerting to speak of himself in the third person, has written stories, novels, newspaper articles, instructional manuals, promotional newsletters and copy, and grocery lists. He generally finds the latter to be his most useful work, but writes fiction because it's the only way to remove the voices crowding his head from his already addled brain pan.

Steve Jeffries - 1 post
and his wife live surrounded by the Siuslaw National Forest, a few miles from the Oregon Coast. He went to school at the University of Iowa and lived in Europe for a year at the urging of his brother, a journalist who lived his entire adult life in Holland. Until his retirement he owned a Designed / Build construction company. He was fortunate to learn CAD design when it was in its infancy. Steve writes poetry and has piles of it. To this point he has had little interest in publishing but at the urging of others he has begun to crawl out from under that rock. Forty years worth of poems have been filed away in folders labeled, “poems.” He loves baseball in all its forms and skill levels and feels that baseball and jazz are the last pure expression of meaning and spontaneity in America. On poetry he has often said that it’s a curse and a blessing but when it shows up it’s like being thrown into deep water, miles from shore.
