John Steakley is that kind of larger-than-life personality that can only come from Texas. He has been a stock-car racer, a semi-pro football player, a private detective, an actor, a car salesman, and, of course, a writer. He has published four short stories in FRIENDS OF THE HORSECLANS and AMAZING SCIENCE FICTION along with two novels–ARMOR and VAMPIRE$–and is in the middle of writing the third, ARMOR 2. Steakley also has three films to his credit: DON’T OPEN THE DOOR (1980), SCARY TEXAS MOVIE (1997), and PLAYING DEAD (1999).
