  <about><![CDATA[I have been writing for a lot of years. Poetry, fiction, nonfiction, even sold a radio play. Primarily I am a writer of horror and folklore - specifically ghost stories - but I am branching out into the world of young adult fiction. Have published one children's picture book and am working on closing a deal for a YA novel. I am currently at work on a YA historical novel, as well.<br/><br/>I am one of those rare creatures who would rather read and write than breathe. I am one of those weird bozos who thinks more clearly with a pen or a keyboard than with his brain.<br/><br/>I am damn near undefinable.<br/><br/>I am, as always - <br/><br/>Yours in storytelling,<br/><br/><br/>Steve Vernon]]></about>

    <![CDATA[There's something about a hard road that calls a body to wander. You want to know what's waiting down there just past the far edge of the horizon. What darkness hides beyond that fish hook of a blind curve scything out to the left. It calls you and all you can do is wander on down.  HARD ROADS offers two brand new novellas from Nova Scotia's hardest working horror writer, Steve Vernon.  In the first tale, Trolling Lures, you will take a drive down a lonesome Nova Scotia hardtop road and you'll find yourself running into a troll, a suicide, and a hint of divine intervention. Coyote is howling soft and low and the moon is watching the pines trees gossip with the cool Atlantic wind.  Come closer to the campfire, the old man is talking.  The second story, Hammurabi Road, is a dark tale of retribution, backwoods justice, and getting closer to a black bear than was ever dreamed possible. We start off with the eternal triangle - three men ride out in a pick-up truck; two in front and one duct-taped in the back. It's a clear cut case of Northern Ontario railroad vengeance, served up as cold as a frozen hunting knife.  We eat what we kill out here and we apologize to no one who doesn't deserve it.  Come on. What are you waiting for? It ain't getting any easier staring at it.]]>
