Steve KITTNER
Steve Kittner was born and raised in Elkview, West Virginia and spent his youth running the hills and the muddy banks of the Elk River. As a young man he thoroughly enjoyed fishing, hunting, hiking, and biking and baseball. His roots are deeply planted in West Virginia and his first novels came straight from the heart as well as from some of the fun adventures he had as a boy in the beautiful West Virginia hills. Steve's imagination and love of nature drives his adventurous writing style and his knowledge of his subjects are evident in his stories.
Steve now resides in Central Florida with his wife and children, and is continuing the Josh Baker and Eddie Debord series by popular demand. Some new and colorful members of the team come along as they take a Florida road trip in book 3 and 4 but there is also much more Appalachian adventure to come for Josh Baker and Eddie Debord as well as Giselle!
Steve still enjoys fishing and the outdoors and is still up for a good adventure every now and then--it keeps the stories coming!

The “What Lies” Adventure Mystery Series
From Book 1: "Be careful wishing for big adventures… one may find you!"
Set in rural Appalachia, “River Rocks” is a riveting coming of age tale of two boys, and a one-hundred-year-old local legend of Confederate gold buried somewhere in the hills that surround their home. The buried gold resulted from a 1903 train robbery, which liberated the U.S. government of their prized ‘Southern Jewel’, 162 pounds of Confederate gold discovered in the siege of Vicksburg.
The old legend takes on a fresh life as Josh Baker and Eddie Debord discover the decades old, elusive clue that leads them on the adventure of a lifetime! In their quest, the boys find themselves drifting downriver on a friend’s homemade raft, biking old railroad beds in search of information, hiking hills full of deadly predators, exploring hidden and forbidden hollows, and desperately trying to locate key old-timers who may or may not help them put this puzzle together. Add to the mix a fog-shrouded river island, a giant of a mountain man, a knowledgeable but mysterious retired investigative reporter, and town leaders who make it very difficult to discern which side of the law they want to stand, and you have the ingredients of story you cannot lay down!
Suspense ramps up as the story progresses and it becomes a race to the finish to see who can track down the long-forgotten... Southern Jewel.
