Steve Galliford was born in Vancouver, Canada. As a young man, he lived in an old house on a hill in the beautiful backwoods of Quebec. While breathing country air and gazing at the starry night sky (and hoping the old wood stove would survive the winter), he wrote and sold short fiction.

 

Many years later the creative writing bug resurfaced when his young children asked for "just one more invented story" before bed. The seed was planted and nourished until the birth of the new Charlie Aldino Adventures.

​

"Albert Einstein once said that 'imagination is more important than knowledge.' I try to tell stories based on my interest in rational thinking/science coupled with my imagination. I'm grateful to learn that this combination of imagination & knowledge is also enjoyed in my writing by many curious children . . . and their parents. We're never too old to be young."
