Know more about Steve Holmquist

Welcome to my site on Short Story Lovers! Here, you`ll find a curated collection of my stories and thoughts

As an author, I`m dedicated to the art of storytelling.  My stories are what I would call non-fiction autobiographical. They come from my Collection f Different Days. When I was a kid back in the 1950's it looked to me like people went to work five days a week, did chores on Saturday, and went to church on Sunday. That looked to me like at the end of their life they only lived three days. A work day, a chore day, and a church day.

That's not what I wanted. At the end of my life I wanted a collection of different days. Which I defined as says filled with fun and excitement, adventures, and definitely not routine.


To that end I've been a free spirited and admittedly very troubled child and teenager, a cowboy, Roughneck on drilling rigs. big game guide, newspaper publisher and reporter, husband, father and grandfather. And have a collection of different days I will put up against anyone's.


Now I will tell you that I am not going to tell you anything that didn't actually happen. And in many cases I have the scars to prove it. But you can call them fiction if you want. I did change the names of people and places and since they are memories had to stitch them together. But I hope you will find them mostly true and entertaining.
