Originally from Chicago, Steve Dustcircle comes from a background in religious ministry and music performance, but now has his hand in many forms of activism, mostly focused on free thought and human rights. There is not much he hasn't done; there is little that he hasn't read about.

Steve lives in Columbus, OH with his frugal-blogger wife, and loves good coffee, cold lager, and stimulating conversation.

Steve authored or edited several short books: Citing Atheists, Politics for the Disinterested, Mangasarian Volume 1, Transport (a novella), Napkins (poetry & short stories), Unchristianed Nation, The Quotable Dissenting Heretic, and Before Your First Gig. All can be purchased from aLife Beyond Books.
