Who are you?
I’m Steve Hockensmith. I write books and stuff.
Who's your agent?
My literary work is represented by the super-nice Josh Getzler at HSG Agency. My not-so-literary work is also represented by Josh Getzler at HSG. My complete-trash-potboiler-garbage is also represented by Josh, but I think he just throws that stuff away.
How can I contact you?
Shoot me an e-mail at steve AT stevehockensmith DOT com.
Do you have an e-mail newsletter?
Funny you should ask! I was just going to suggest you sign up for it. Send me an e-mail, and I'll add you to the mailing list.
Can I follow you, too?
Excuse me? You mean like around town? That’s kind of a creepy thing to ask.
I meant on Twitter.
Oh. Sorry. Sure. I’m @MrHockensmith.
How about Facebook?
How about it?
[Exasperated sigh] Do you have a Facebook page?
Yeah! Right! Just search on “Steve Hockensmith,” and you’ll find me.
Are the film and television rights to your “Holmes on the Range” books still available?
Yup. I sold my everlasting soul to Satan and everything, and still a deal hasn't come through. I'm thinking of taking the devil to small claims court.
Will you be coming to my town anytime soon?
I don’t know. Where do you live?
I’m not real. I’m just a rhetorical device.
Got it. Well, if you were real and you wanted to know where I’ll be in the future, you could always check out the Steve’s Schedule page on this website.

Is your hair supposed to look like that?
Yes.
I’m tired. Can I stop asking questions now?
