About Me
- Stephen Tritto
- San Jose, California
- STEPHEN TRITTO was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He volunteered for the U.S. Air Force at the age of seventeen after graduating from high school. His four year military experience served as his “coming of age" period. He returned to Brooklyn to continue his college education and pursue a career in software technology and management followed by a move to Silicon Valley. He held several executive management positions before pursuing his passion for writing fiction. Winning the 2006 Red Wheelbarrow (S/E) short story competition for “The Cherries and the Holster” convinced him to stay with it. He began a five year project that produced his first novel “Taking Flight.” He has just completed a collection of short stories scheduled to be published in 2015. The author’s other interests include amateur astronomy and kayaking which he often manages to bring in to his writing. His interest in the skies and oceans “provides an excellent perspective to life and a reminder of our place in the world.” The author may be reached at Steve95135@gmail.com. He and his wife, Peggy, live in San Jose, CA
