Welcome to Steven Lewis, Writer.
Hey there … first a few words about me and the writing life I’ve led over the past 50-ish years: I am a former Mentor at SUNY-Empire State College, current member of the Sarah Lawrence College Writing Institute faculty, and longtime freelancer. My work has been published widely, from the notable to the beyond obscure, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, LA Times, Ploughshares, Narratively, Spirituality & Health, Road Apple Review, The Rosicrucian Digest, and a biblically long list of parenting publications (7 kids, 16 grandkids). I am also Senior Editor/Literary Ombudsman for the podcast Read650.org, and el Jefe of the Hatteras Island Writers' Retreats at Duckdog Cottage, Rodanthe, North Carolina.
My book list includes, among others, Zen and the Art of Fatherhood, Fear and Loathing of Boca Raton, a chapbook of poems, If I Die Before You Wake, and four recent novels, Take This, a generational sequel, Loving Violet, A Hard Rain, all from Codhill Press, and a new novel, The Lights Around the Shore, published by Moonshine Cove in July 2021. A poetry collection, Fire in Paradise, co-authored with my brilliantly talented daughter Elizabeth Bayou-Funk, will be published in 2022. That’s it. Roam around. Make yourself at home.
