“I stuttered as a kid and couldn’t always say what I wanted without being self-conscious. I began to write my thoughts down and soon discovered I could say anything. Writing became my salvation and has never left me.” Stephen McGuire
Steve is a native of Louisville, Kentucky, and had a thirty-year legal career serving as an attorney and a federal judge in Washington, D.C.

Bush for his service to the nation’s judiciary. He has two certifications from Harvard University, one from the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and the other from Harvard Law School. Subsequently, he became Vice President for Corporate Compliance at the University of Louisville Hospital.
He has traveled to over sixty-five foreign countries, including ten communist countries. Among his more memorable trips were those to Cuba (where his letter about the culture and lifestyle of Havana was published by Cigar Aficionado magazine), Africa, India, Vietnam, and Japan. In July 2019, he and his wife, Doris, taught English to high school students in the Fujian Province of China.
Steve's books have a common theme of power, greed and corruption in Washington, D.C. Although his books are fiction they have an underlying tone which implicates the reality of today. In the past couple of years, Steve has had extensive speaking engagements at book clubs, bookstores, libraries, country clubs, civic associations, and art centers. He has been interviewed on radio, podcast and newspapers throughout the country. Steve is a member of the Gulf Coast Writers Association.
