Steve Patchin is a writer, photographer, and artist who has been working and running a studio in Las Vegas, Nevada for more than 23 years. Derelict Dreams is his first novel, and his art was the inspiration for the novel. That's why the novel is also an art book, with more than 80 detailed pictures.

Steve is a Las Vegas native with an extensive portfolio of photographic images, realistic composites, and impressionistic paintings. He has owned and operated his photography and video business, Patchin Pictures, since 1997, winning eight Emmys for his work, including Emmys for producing, directing, editing and writing. He also owns and operates Art Bus Coffee, a unique mobile coffee shop and art gallery where he displays and sells some of his a Steve Patchin is a writer, photographer, and artist who has been working and running a studio in Las Vegas, Nevada for more than 23 years.

Steve is a Las Vegas native with an extensive portfolio of photographic images, realistic composites, and impressionistic paintings. He has owned and operated his photography and video business, Patchin Pictures, since 1997, winning eight Emmys for his work, including Emmys for producing, directing, editing and writing. He also owns and operates Art Bus Coffee, a unique mobile coffee shop and art gallery where he displays and sells some of his artwork. Steve has never stopped expanding and refining his art and photography. His resume of images encompasses an abundance of styles and subjects that are uniquely appealing, from traditional landscapes and cityscapes to his distinctive "photo paintings" that are more impressionistic, sometimes surreal, or other-worldly.

One of Steve's big art-related projects is Art Bus Coffee, a business he started in 2017. It is a mobile coffee shop and art gallery in a British double decker bus. While researching ideas for presenting art to the public so more people can experience it, Steve realized that the best way to reach more people would be to take the art to them. That's where the idea, and thus the business, began. Seeing actual, physical art in person is very different from looking at it on a computer screen or a phone, but how can people know this if they haven't experienced the difference? And shuffling through an art gallery isn't always convenient or appealing. The access to art needs to be easy, and people need time to relax and enjoy it. Thus, Steve designed Art Bus Coffee so he could bring the art directly to people, and they could get an espresso, go up to the second level of the bus, and relax among the artwork. Steve says, "The satisfaction of tasting a good cup of coffee or espresso is very much like the satisfaction of seeing good works of art: they both feel right. And what better way to do both at the same time than having a coffee and experiencing art on a classic, British, double decker bus?"

Steve is now working on his second novel, another perspective in the apocalyptic science fiction genre.
