Steve Berman
Some little known facts about Steve Berman: a)
He's been complimented by a urologist... yes, about that;
b) He once got revenge on his college roommate by adding...
you know what to rice pudding and watching the guy eat
it; c) He once hypnotized a guy he liked but friends came
over before he ever tested whether the guy was reaaaally
under. Other than that, he's like any other gay spec fic
writer. Maybe more insight into his life might be gained
from reading one of his stories. Check out steveberman.com
for the list (he's sold a lot by including mesmerdiscs
with each submission).
