ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Stephen McCaskill
A lifelong storyteller whose unconventional path through finance, procurement, and law enforcement shaped the way he writes about resilience, pressure, and the choices that define us.
A PATH THAT WAS ANYTHING BUT TRADITIONAL
Life beyond the page
Stephen McCaskill began his career in accounting, took an early detour into procurement, and later made a significant shift into law enforcement. Eventually returning to finance, he built a career defined by adaptability, analytical thinking, and a willingness to follow unexpected opportunities.
What most people do not know is that Stephen has been writing creatively since grade school. He wrote short stories as early as the fourth grade, but kept nearly all of them to himself.
THE TURNING POINT
A story carried for decades
In 2024, after carrying one particular story with him for more than twenty years, Stephen finally decided to turn it into a novel. The process unlocked an enduring love for the craft of storytelling—a blend of discipline, curiosity, and patience that echoes the resilience developed throughout his professional journey.
HIS DEBUT NOVEL
And Still We Stood
The novel brings together the themes Stephen is drawn to most: perseverance, humanity under pressure, and the fragile lines between order and collapse. It blends the intensity of a thriller with the emotional depth of a character-driven drama.
Stephen lives with his family and continues to write, exploring stories that challenge, inspire, and stay with readers long after the final page.
