ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Steven Van Patten is a Brooklyn native,
raised in Fort Greene.  After graduating from
Long Island University on a full tuition
scholarship, he pursued a career in television
production.  Steven has managed a plethora
of TV shows, including MTV’s Total Request
Live and BET Tonight w/ Ed Gordon. Steven
grew up loving horror movies, but couldn't
help but wonder why the few people of color
included in these films were stereotypical,
underdeveloped and often dead before the
opening credits were finished.  That, along
with his love of African-American history and
samurai culture eventually prompted him
into writing the Brookwater's Curse vampire
novel series.  Featuring a lead character that
starts off as an 1860s Georgia plantation
slave who becomes a vampire, the series has
been hailed as one of the most multi-cultural
supernatural adventures of all time.

After receiving a variety of accolades and
awards for both Brookwater's Curse Volume I
and Volume II, Steven continues to work
hard on the 3rd installment while still
working in TV and producing a series of
crime drama webisodes featuring his friends
from the television industry in various roles.  
Steven also acts as director, writer and star
(only for economical reasons so he says), in
this independent romp about a retired
hitman who must begin killing again after his
brother becomes indebted to a crime boss.  
There are plans him to write a novel about
the hitman, as well as a serial killer story
once he is done weaving his last tome of
vampire lore.  At some point, he even plans to
get some sleep, but it's not likely to happen
anytime soon.
