Steven R. Burt is a product of Utah in the 1950's. He grew up reading cereal boxes and the funny papers at the breakfast table and all his favorite books at night, hiding under his bedspread with a flashlight. He continuously read from three different publications of the 'A' encyclopedia, because the $0.98 introductory copies sold in grocery stores were the only books that fit into the family budget. Eventually he grew up and became an Architect, a profession described in the 'A' volumes, but always felt books were his true passion so, he wrote one: HINT OF COPPER, which tells the story of a young detective, his kidnapped girlfriend, Cold War spies in 1948, and quite possibly the best idea Nikola Tesla ever had. SAVING HARRY TRUMAN is his second novel; a time-travel thriller based on an actual event: the 1948 visit of the President to Salt Lake City. It builds on the world and many of the personalities introduced in his first book. He is an Affiliate Member of Mystery Writers of America.  He and his wife Janet reside near Salt Lake City, Utah.
