Stevie Dee

Creating Magical Worlds For Everyone!

Stevie Dee lives near and draws inspiration from the steamy swamps and bayous of Louisiana, where crawdads are king, and the Loup Garou is still spoken of in whispers. He can often be found walking the banks of the Red River. Along with his dog Buddy chasing whatever he imagines lies behind that next tuft of grass. His favorite authors are Louis L'Amour and C.S. Forester, the search continues to complete his collection.

One of his earliest memories is being taught by his mother how to jitterbug on a linoleum floor in the kitchen to Bill Haley and the Comets. A little later, he took ballroom dancing lessons where his love of Glen Miller blossomed. Despite his love of music, playing an instrument is something he never mastered. He has attempted piano, trombone, and guitar. The gene that allows someone to learn to read music and play an instrument was very obviously recessive. In the late seventies, he was never happier than when on a disco floor, his favorite venues being The Blackpool Mecca, Highland Room, or The Ritz Ballroom in Manchester. His heroes are Sir Sean Connery (The best ever James Bond), Billy Connolly (The Big Yin), and Freddie Mercury (The lead singer of Queen). Inspiration and his spiritual homes are the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Especially The Isle of Skye, Lewis and Harris, and we must not forget Orkney! When he seeks inspiration for his stories, he loves nothing more than listening to the Gaelic singers Fiona Hunter, Julie Fowlis.
