Johannus M. Steger is a Fantasy & Science Fiction writer with 17 years of practice. He was first published at age 17 with a small press magazine in Canada for his short horror story, "I Can See Her". In 2005, he won a writer award through DeviantArt for best flash fiction. In 2007, his poetry was published in a d10 role-playing game. In 2017, he was published with two short stories in an Amazon best-selling anthology, Infinite Darkness. He also has several publications with Huffington Post, where he was a social climate blogger, focused on diversity and Queer Voices.
	Johannus' writings bring new life to the genre with characters of every background imaginable. Fantasy and Science Fiction have been dry when it comes to Queer Voices, People of Color, Disabilities, and even issues of poverty. This was something growing up that always bothered him, and so he set out on his writing journey to show a reflection of his reality, a world of people that are every skin tone, every gender (including non-gender conforming), and rich in diversity. 
        Johannus lives in Dallas, Texas with his partner and their six ferrets; Toki, Turbo, Jon Snow, Brienne of Tarth, Korra of the Water Tribe, and Sitka. He has a deep love for all things coffee, tea, and fantasy. He also enjoys long walks with mean people on short piers.
