Steve Demaree

Steve Demaree is a popular author from America, who has written a number of highly successful mystery, thriller, suspense, and romance books. He is particularly well known for writing the Dekker Cozy Mystery series. Author Demaree achieved a great success with the series’ first book, titled 52 Steps To Murder. This was also the debut book of his writing career. Apart from this bestselling series, Demareer has written a couple of other novel series. Demaree says that he does not know where did he get the inspiration from to become an author. He thinks it was destined to happen. Prior to the publication of his first book, Demaree had already penned several short stories over a period of one year. Things started to change for the better when he decided to use the short stories to develop a book. Author Demaree had a great interest in reading and writing, but he never really aspired to write something on his own. He believes that God wanted him to do this and that is why he entered in this field. Even if would have had any thoughts of turning into a writer, Demaree was so low in self-confidence that he didn’t think he would ever become one. All the books of author Demaree are published by himself. Before he released his debut book, he talked to several established authors about the idea of self-publishing. But, he could not get much help. Therefore, he decided to go on and self-publish by gambling with his luck. Today, author Demaree feels that he took the best decision of his life by deciding to self publish because he found that things become very easy with e-books. The decision also proved beneficial to him financially because, like all the other authors, he too makes more money from e-books that the printed versions. While writing all the three novel series, author Demaree found the Aylesforf Place to be the easiest one. This series takes the characters through a one year progression in each of the books. The Dekker Cozy Mysteries proved to be a little bit harder for Demaree, while the Off the Beaten Path Mysteries series was the toughest one because it does not have recurring characters and humor elements. Demaree finds it very easy to develop his plots and characters around humor.
