Greetings, I'm Steve Barker, a proud British author hailing from the quaint town of Farnham, nestled in the serene landscapes of Hampshire, England. My childhood amidst such natural beauty instilled in me a profound admiration for the world around us.
Following my education, I felt a calling to the military. In 1979, I took the courageous step of enlisting in the British Army, embarking on a journey that would shape my life. Stationed with the Royal Green Jackets in Winchester, I immersed myself in training and gained invaluable experiences that would influence my future pursuits. By 1989, after completing my training, my military service led me to Cambridge, where I proudly served with the esteemed 3RGJ unit.
Inspired by my own experiences, I eagerly delved into the creation of my first two books, immersing myself in the captivating world of cruising with boundless enthusiasm. Through these works, I not only shared my deep-seated passion for the open seas but also demonstrated my knack for captivating storytelling and painting vivid scenes that come alive on the page.
However, my journey as a writer took a significant turn during my time at Combat Stress in April 2019. It was during this period of introspection that I penned "Poetry from the PTSD Mind," a profoundly personal collection that beautifully encapsulates my own journey and battles. This work resonated deeply with readers and fellow authors, hailed as a poignant exploration of the human experience, garnering critical acclaim.
It was during this transformative period that my love for writing truly blossomed. I unearthed my talent for crafting short pieces, exploring a myriad of subjects with fervor and introspection.
The global lockdown of 2020 unexpectedly opened a new chapter in my writing journey, igniting my passion with renewed fervor. During this remarkably productive period, I embarked on the creation of the Covert-Ops series. The inaugural installment, "Danger in Paradise," burst onto the scene, introducing readers to a thrilling world of intrigue and peril. A year later, I continued the saga with "Danger on the Island," captivating audiences once again with my immersive storytelling prowess.
My latest triumph is the fourth installment of the Covert-Ops series, "The Extraction," released in 2024. This latest addition is a testament to my growth and evolution as an author, as I breathe life into compelling characters and spin intricate webs of suspense.
Throughout my diverse writing journey, I've had the privilege to contribute to various literary genres—from immersive travel narratives to poignant poetry to gripping fiction. This versatility not only showcases my talent but also allows me to connect with readers on different levels.
In conclusion, my path as a writer has been profoundly fulfilling, driven by my deep-seated love for storytelling and my unwavering commitment to honing my craft. It's a privilege to share my words with readers worldwide, and I eagerly await the unfolding of the next chapter in my literary adventure.
