About Me
- Steven J. Dines
- I live in the granite city - Aberdeen, Scotland - where I have been writing short fiction for many years. My work has appeared in over seventy online and print publications and tends to have a dark, psychological edge to it whether it is literary or genre in style. I am fascinated by the flawed protagonist, the outsider, the persona non grata, much more interesting to me than the stereotypical hero or heroine.
