I'm Steven A. Hauer, author of One Inch Between Life and Death—a true story about surviving the unthinkable. At sixteen, I was accidentally shot in a hunting accident that changed my life forever. That moment—and everything that came after—taught me about pain, faith, resilience, and purpose. This book is my way of sharing that journey with you.

By day, I work as a Sales Merchandiser and part-time for Combine Insurance, helping people find peace of mind and protection for life’s unexpected moments. In the fall, you’ll find me at Fall Harvest Apple Orchard, where I enjoy driving the wagon and meeting folks from all over. There's something grounding about the orchard—being outside, sharing stories, and enjoying life at a slower pace.

When I’m not working or writing, I’m always thinking about the next way to connect with readers, offer encouragement, or share something real. Thanks for being here.
