Born in Austin, Texas in 1969, Steadham began writing and drawing comic books at ten years old and continues to do so with webcomics when possible, including the award-winning Due East, Off Hours as well as Super Chibi Girl. Steadham started novel writing during the 2013 National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo) event. After successful completion, Steadham too two and a half years to edit the novel before self-publishing on Amazon in June 2016.

Happily in an interracial marriage since 1995 with three children, Steadham and his wife are also musicians, singers and songwriters. They have been in a (nondenominational) Christian band since 1997 and perform with their church regularly.
