My Older Books

Hello, readers. I am offering links to places that still have ebooks that I wrote and published as Steven L Campbell before 2017.

Louie and Bruce 003-2023-0621

The comic page shown below is from October 1981. As I’ve discussed in earlier posts, the top 4 panels of my Louie and Bruce full-length comic strips sometimes told a complete story that I could have used as a short strip.

Ghost Dogs, Story 2023-0320

Many years ago I wrote a story for a high school English class. My teacher helped me to understand story structure the best she could, but it was enough to create an aha moment that aroused my interest in writing more stories. The more stories I wrote, the more my interest in the craft grew. … Continue reading Ghost Dogs, Story 2023-0320
