Steven Key Meyers was born on a farm near Grand Junction, Colorado. While living in New York City, he began writing plays, and later switched to writing fiction. His novels include Good People, All That Money, Queer's Progress, The Wedding on Big Bone Hill, My Mad Russian: Three Tales and Another's Fool. He has also published a biographical study of the once-famous Indiana painter Harvey joiner, as well as a memoir, I Remember Caramoor, recounting his time as teenaged underbutler at that famous Westchester County estate. In 2018 he published a short novel, The Last Posse, making use of several strands of his Texas forebears' history, including the historic posse his great-uncle led in pursuit of outlaw Frank Hollowell, and currently he is at work on a kind of sequel called The Ringers.
