Steven J. Maricic

Steve's latest novel: Defense Mechanism, is a story of suspense and psychology, murder and treason, love and betrayal.

Steve Maricic grew up in the happiest place on earth – Hudson County, NJ – on a block rich in stoops and colorful neighbors.

He is happily married to tough and beautiful Bernadette from Jersey City, and they have two wonderful daughters.

Educated at Brown, Montclair State, and Rutgers, he’s been a teacher and a librarian all his life.

To save humanity, he once wrote Mr. Lucky’s Favorite Poker Games about the fascinating, poker-playing adventures of his teddy bear friend.

He loves Hitchcock films, especially Rear Window, for their suspense and for their explorations into what makes us tick.
