Steve Berry lives on the Georgia coast, and though (after 29 years) he no longer practices law, he's still active in local politics, having served on the Camden County Board of Education and currently serving as one of five members of the Camden County Board of Commissioners.
And, of course, he writes.
Steve has been writing since 1990, and though his undergraduate degree is in political science it was Steve's long time interest in history that led to him writing international suspense thrillers. Stories with a little bit of history, secrets, conspiracies, international settings, action and adventure were the kind of books Steve liked to read, so naturally they became the kind of books he liked to write. Steve doesn't adhere to the adage, 'Write what you know.' Instead, he says, 'Write what you love.' He also credits the nuns who taught him in Catholic school with instilling the discipline needed both to craft a novel and stick with the process until finding a publisher. When Steve's not writing you can find him either on a beach, or on a golf course, or somewhere traveling-discovering more things lost.
Steve and his wife Elizabeth have also started a foundation, History Matters, dedicated to aiding the preservation of our heritage.
