Steve Watkins

Steve Watkins is the author of Down Sand Mountain. He says What Comes After was inspired by reading an article about a girl placed in foster care after an assault. "I recognized her - and others like her - through my work as an investigator and advocate in the juvenile justice system. I knew her story deserved to be told." A short-story writer and winner of a Pushcart Prize, Steve Watkins lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
