ⓘ About Steven Gould

Steven Gould is a young adult, fantasy, and science fiction author best known for the “Jumper” series of novels. Gould is the son to James and Carita Gould and was born in Arizona in the small town of Fort Huachuca. As a child born to an Army officer, he moved around a lot though he still remembers their life in Hawaii when he was a teen as it was at this time that he became a proficient scuba diver. Once he was done with high school he went to Texas A&M University hence the reason he sets much of his works in the state. As a university student, Gould went to many writing conventions but he fondly remembers attending College Station’s Aggiecon, his first-ever science fiction convention. He went on to undertake a leadership role as director of the convention in 1975.
