In addition to administering Burt Creations, doing bookstore, library and other public readings, teaching on school visits in the Northeast and beyond, and making guest appearances with the print, radio, and TV media, the minister/author manages to find time to pastor First Congregational Church in Lyme, Connecticut (where his parishioners fondly call him “The Sinister Minister”).
Steve is a dynamic presence, with a genuine and heartfelt appreciation for people, something that is unmistakably reflected in the many inspirational stories that have enjoyed a grassroots following for years before gaining national and international acclaim in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. He has also inspired thousands and thousands of kids to read and write because of his world-famous Stories to Chill the Heart series of weird tales for young readers and adults.
You can read about Steve's personal history in the Press Room, and you can contact him to arrange for personal appearances, book signings, and other promotional events. Despite his immensely busy schedule, he will definitely respond and will almost certainly find a way to accommodate your request.
With his teen paranomal thriller FreeK Camp about to launch, Steve is booking college, school, library, camp, scout troop, and civic group appearances for 2010 and 2011.
He's also taking October church/school/group dates as the "The Sinister Minister" (the title of a Connecticut Magazine feature on him) for his read-aloud Halloween program from the award-winning Stories to Chill the Heart series.
And for November/December (his 12th year as "New England's Christmas Story Pastor,"), he's lining up dates at senior centers, churches, libraries and civic groups for his popular read-aloud Christmas stories program.
