Steve Pueschel was born in Orlando, Florida. Following the receipt of a Bachelor’s degree from Warner Southern College and a Master’s degree from Troy State University, he focused on mentoring and training within his assigned career responsibilities. Through the years, developing written tools and instructional documents has led to a heightened interest in writing. Inspired by this passion and a drive to teach life skills through children’s literature, Steve has focused his creative efforts on writing books that positively impact children’s lives through learning and understanding how to navigate through life’s difficult decisions and events. The second book in his newest series Cooper’s Crossroads which follows some of these life discussions between two Boston terrier dogs is expected out in the winter of 2015. Steve has two children, a granddaughter and still lives in Orlando with his wife of over thirty years, Kathy.
