Steven Van Patten is a native New Yorker, raised in Fort Greene and currently living in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.\xa0\xa0\u2018SVP\u2019 describes himself as an insomniac with an overactive imagination and a lover of things that go bump in the night. He\u2019s quoted as saying that, \u201cI love horror movies, but I am not always crazy about how people of color are depicted or handled within the horror genre.\xa0\xa0My list of complaints goes on forever, from the stereotypical slang-talker who is dead before the credits are over to the fact that Blade goes for an entire trilogy of movies without the main character attaining a true love interest.\u201d\n\n\xa0\n\nThis is probably why after coming home from his exhausting experiences stage managing various TV shows throughout the New York area, he was motivated to stay up all hours of the night writing the Brookwater\u2019s Curse vampire novel series. Because of his extensive work in both the television and literary fields, he\u2019s now a member of both the Director\u2019s Guild of America and The Horror Writer\u2019s Association.\n\n\xa0\n\nThe Brookwater\u2019s Curse books are a combination of many things the author loves, all pulled together to create a very dark, very adult, supernatural vision. He is currently working on, \u201cThe Genius\u201d a somewhat futuristic, multi-cultural take on the serial killer genre.
