When I first met him that sense of fulfillment radiated through him and still does, perhaps even more so now. It was one of the first traits in his character that I noticed. It is part and parcel of who he is. This sense of purpose, while being apparent on the surface of his nature, is nevertheless understated. Yet that is one of the main strengths that he has in his arsenal of being.
“ASHES is a wonderfully character-driven, page-turning tale of two estranged brothers on a personal quest across the country. Their spontaneous road trip is a bumpy one, full of twists and turns and peopled with all sorts of colorful characters along the way, but it’s also touched with humor―enough to amuse and delight the reader through a heartfelt, life-changing journey of self-discovery. Manchester’s devoted fans will find much to love in his new novel, which proves he is an author who knows how to keep readers well-entertained, while touching their hearts deeply and profoundly at the same time.”

— Luna Bella Press (November 19, 2019) “Steven Manchester’s latest book, Bread Bags & Bullies, made me recall the town I ‘grew up in’— mythical Mayfield. Instantly taking you back to 1984, the characters and situations are so believable that you’ll want to keep turning the pages.” — Tony Dow, actor, Leave It to Beaver

— Luna Bella Media (June 16, 2020) “Why are we here on earth? What happens when we die? And where is God? These are humankind’s most important and enduring questions. The Menu brings a fresh and exciting perspective to these ancient questions. Consistent with what I’ve found in my near-death experience research, this book presents very real and powerfully inspiring messages about human life and the glorious afterlife. This outstanding book is well written and enthusiastically recommended.” — Dr. Jeffrey Long, NYT Bestselling Author, Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences
“Three generations of dads, playing traditional roles in each other’s lives, arrive simultaneously at significant crossroads. The decisions they make and the actions they take will directly – and eternally – affect each other.” — Fiction Studio Books (June 15, 2021)
