Pendelton, Steve: - Brought up by two hard-working entrepreneurs, Steve Pendelton was raised in a world of opportunity, and he witnessed firsthand the legacy that he inherited. Growing up in the seventies was a special time for him: being in rock bands, playing sports, and driving fast muscle cars. After high school, he worked on airplanes. In the early nineties, he decided to go to college for law enforcement. While raising a family, he worked as a part-time police officer, in a lock-up for juveniles, before serving as a corrections officer for over two decades. Finally nearing retirement, he decided to start writing books. Capricorn Chuck's Cruel World is his first novel. A sequel is currently in the works.
