About MeI am the co-author of the Littlest Dinosaur series (The Littlest Dinosaur, The Littlest Dinosaur Finds a Home, The Littlest Dinosaur Goes To School, The + read more Littlest Dinosaur's First Christmas, The Littlest Dinosaur Goes To A Wedding, The Littlest Dinosaur's Spooky Halloween, The Littlest Dinosaur And The Big Egg Hunt, The Littlest Dinosaur Goes To Space, The Littlest Dinosaur's Big Book of Dinosaur Facts, The Littlest Dinosaur's Big Book of Space Facts).

Besides writing picture books, I also write short stories for older audiences. I was the editor of DeadSteam & DeadSteam II, and I am currently working on my debut novel, London Dead. My short stories have appeared in numerous anthologies, including Hideous Progeny: Classic Horror Goes Punk, Denizens of Steam and Den of Antiquity. His short story, The Complications of Avery Vane, was awarded Best Steampunk Short in the Preditors and Editors Reader’s Poll in 2016.

I also write for video games. I was the lead writer for Ironclad Games’ multiplayer online game Sins of A Dark Age and was a writer for Mech Armada and Sins of a Solar Empire II. My comedy horror screenplay, Christmas Feast, was a quarter finalist in several screenwriting competitions.

As an illustrator, my debut book was The Sad Fox, written by Jack Raffle.

I have extensive experience running in-person events (including story time and arts & crafts for young kids, and creative writing workshops for older kids) during school & library visits, community events (pride, museum events), book store visits, and conventions (Creative Ink Fest, Word Vancouver, VCON). I also teach creative writing to adults through Off Topic Publishing and the Alexandra Writers Centre.

I live in the beautiful Greater Vancouver Area in British Columbia, Canada, where I work in the film industry as a boom operator. Show Less

TestimonialsCoquitlam Public Library hosted The Littlest Dinosaur Activity Hour with Bryce & Steven and it was + read more a delight! They were super easy to work with, very responsive, did a great story time and we had time for questions and answers as well. They provided some fun activities for the children attending to do or take home and it was a great experience all around. Bryce and Steven were fun and engaging and I’d happily work with them again!

Ms. Erin Hodder
Teacher Show Less “Bryce and Steven present a gentle, engaging show that is even better than the books themselves. At + read more our library [Fraserview Branch, Vancouver Public Library] the children were rapt with attention as Bryce read two of The Littlest Dinosaur titles, quizzed the kids on dinosaur facts (all kids love dinosaur facts!), and then participated in a super-cute, simple, dinosaur craft. Their stories resonate with themes of inclusion, making this presentation particularly good for Pride and other events celebrating diversity and inclusivity. I would recommend this program for preschoolers to grade three.”
