Steve Niles is quite a writer.

I guess he should be though since he's been making a living at it for about fifteen years. What? You haven't heard of him? Sure you have! I wrote a ZONE piece on Steve way back on January 4th, after I read his novel, Guns, Drugs and Monsters.

I was so impressed with Guns, Drugs and Monsters that I immediately bought Savage Membrane, the first Cal McDonald novel. It was just as good! There are more Cal McDonald novels in the works, as well as a series from Dark Horse Comics.

Steve is also the author of 30 Days of Night, a vampire graphic novel that Ben Templesmith illustrated. It has just gone into it's third printing, and was optioned [for a cool million bucks] by Sam Raimi's production company! Plus Steve get's to write the screenplay!

You might think that all of this has gone to Steve's head. You'd be wrong. I got to meet Steve at MegaCon and he was very kind, gracious, and appreciative of his fans. Read this interview with Steve, check out his website [tell him I sent ya!] and then order his books. You'll be glad you did because...

Steve Niles is quite a writer.
