Why (ePub)

One would think that writing was the first love of L. Steve’s life. However, being versatile proved to be more of a challenge for him. With music being his passion, he knew that there were other avenues that he wanted to explore.
One of those desires was doing hair. Once he learned the fundamentals of doing hair at Van’s Barbering College in Cleveland, Mississippi. He began working at home in Mound Bayou, at Smitty’s Barber Shop. He worked with his friend Donell Nicholas, who was a barber. After a short period, that too would fade away.
He then became interested in children and worked as a teacher’s assistant at I. T. Montgomery Elementary School. That seemed to have been his calling, at least he assumed.
It was around this time that he began writing words on paper that would develop into a poem. That was it. He had finally found his hidden talent that ultimately became writing.
He wrote an entire book of Easter poems, a black history, and a Christmas play, which was performed at the church were he attends. He then began forwarding his poetry to publishing companies. A contract would follow his submissions, but he was never able to negotiate the contracts.
In the year of 2004, L. Steve had a volume of poems published by 1st Books. It was at this time that he knew that writing was truly his passion and began on a novel.
L. Steve is the eighth of eleven children born to the late Beatrice and Tommie Carmicle, on July 4, 1962, in Mound Bayou, Mississippi.
He attributes his versatility to the cotton fields and his playing the piano.
At present, L. Steve continues to write.
