Welcome to the DB Stephens Booktrap page
I'm an author who has dabbled in many genres and is of the opinion that a good story knows no such boundaries. I look for situations that grip you and characters that rip your heart out. If that story happens to be 'Young Adult', then so be it! I want to tell that story. I have a romantic suspense and a thriller for sale on Amazon. I also have a paranormal horror story in the oven, which is almost ready to taste. Take a look at my page and check out my books, if you like to be moved by a story. When you finished looking at my books, take a look at my blog - http://thebooktrap.weebly.com/parallel-lives. It will make you smile and you will get a taste of another great author here on The Booktrap. Margaret Eleanor Leigh and I try to find humor in the sometimes tragic events that defined who we are as we grew up in very different circumstances, but at the exact same period in time.
I am also a freelance writer who has written for the Xerox Corporation and the SmartVan publication. Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested in an article for your site.

Definable Moments
My first book and dearest to my heart. I cry every time I read it! Below is the teaser as it reads on Amazon. You can download the first chapter there for free.
The classic 'Bad Boy meets Good Girl' love story, with a bit of gang violence and mayhem thrown in for good measure.
19-year-old Isaac Molina is fleeing from his past to a place that is as foreign to him as truth is to a politician. His journey takes him from the violent drug war streets of East LA to the buggy-filled streets of Lancaster Pennsylvania, where he meets 'Clarice' - the dream girl he didn't know could ever exist. The Cuban American teen soon finds himself running from a violent gang that has dogged his steps for years; this time he has the love of his life to protect.
A fateful moment comes when he must decide to continue to hide from his past, and betray his new love, or confront his sins and face the consequences. The decision will define the man he is to be.

Solutions Inc.
I am very proud of this book. I've had several readers tell me they could not put it down, which is what every writer wants to hear. The story seemed to write itself and I was constantly amazed at the twists it took along the way. I think you will be surprised at the emotion captured in this techno thriller.
Bucky James finds himself at a dead end. His wife has left him for another man and to make matters worse, he gets booted out of the Marines corps. Disgraced, he tries to end his life, but instead he comes face to face with an irresistible offer for a new way of life. Or so he thinks...
Working for a ruthless powerful man, Raith Aldridge, the Head of a covert division of Solutions Incorporated, he gets involved in the killing of men in suits and ties, rather than the boots and brass he is used to. His moral compass is spinning out of control.
When he realizes that his new boss employs people, not only to carry out his dark deeds in an attempt to allegedly reshape the corporate world, but also to thrill himself by playing mind games with them, Bucky has had enough. He is not about to let Mr. Aldridge have hours of pleasure at his expense. Looking for a way out of this world of greed and depravity of the human heart, Bucky knows that his only "solution" is a very difficult kill. His new target: Raith Aldridge...

My other great passion is hiking the many beautiful trails in Central Pennsylvania where I live. The Appalachian Trail is only five miles from my house and I try to hike it at least three times a week (when weather permits). My first book was born on the trail up to Hawk Rock, which is my most visited vista to date. I've worked out many sticky spots in my stories while hiking. As long as my knees hold out, I will continue to go to the woods for inspiration and the solitude I need to write a good book.
