The story behind the stories

I was born in Morristown, New Jersey, in 1988, but I moved to Colorado at the age of six and have spent most of my life in the state. Since I can remember, I’ve loved running around — always had a lot of energy — and I also gravitated toward storytelling, both with and without numbers.

As you’re at the Steven Clinton Writing website, you may have gathered that I write fiction. It’s been quite the journey — turns out there’s a bit of work involved in building up writing skills — but I’ve ultimately wound up in a place where I’m immensely proud of my style, and I really enjoy the novels I’ve put together.

At present, my available titles are The Legend of Tucker Wilson and The Bubble Society (learn more on the Fiction page). While The Bubble Society is my second book, I’d recommend reading it first. It’s a story that very much “came to me” — once I established the framework, it felt like the novel was writing itself through me, rather than the other way around — and I’m really pleased with the end product. If you enjoy my writing, you’ll probably dig The Legend of Tucker Wilson as well, and you’ll get to see how I evolved as a writer while working on that project.

Beyond writing, I work as a Data Scientist, coding in Python to analyze patterns, create data visualizations, and build machine learning models. I hold my B.A. in Economics and M.S. in Predictive Analytics from Northwestern University.
