Steve Simpson is a young adult author and youth advocate who uses the history of his own abusive childhood and his story of survival to help others survive and have hope. For decades, Steve has been speaking to schools and making media appearances, being entertaining while giving lifesaving information. Steve has been recognized nationally for his writing and his ongoing efforts in helping youth in crisis. Steve's books are proven to be a fantastic tool to enable young people to get help and have access to important information while at the same time entertains his readers. His “book within a book” idea is unique and a great way to get this information to a teenager or young adult without embarrassing them.

The Teenage and Young Adult Survival Handbook covers many of the issues that young adults face today directly addressing as suicide, child abuse, children of alcoholics, bullying, and self-esteem. The Teenage and Young Adult Survival Handbook is included in all four of Steve's exciting young adult fiction novels, Who Am I?, The World is Wrong, Child's Island and Runaway. While the fiction stories entertain the nonfiction part provides lifesaving information and encouragement to its young readers. Steve has spent the better part of his life consistently writing and speaking about the topics that affect our youth the most. He is passionate about and knows the importance of giving hope to those burdened with the same problems he had as a child.

The Teenage and Young Adult Survival Handbook includes topics such as suicide, child abuse, children of alcoholics, bullying, self-esteem, surviving school, surviving holidays while living in a dysfunctional home, being patient with trying to change. Author Steve Simpson offers his own personal experiences with these topics and how he survived them and tries to give encouragement and hope to his young readers.

The Teenage and Young Adult Survival Handbook is included in any of Steve’s 4 young adult action fiction novels: Who Am I?, The World is Wrong, Runaway and Child’s Island. The fact that The Teenage and Young Adult Survival Handbook is an insert in Steve’s fiction books avoids embarrassment for a young person wanting to get help because they could say they simply want to read the fiction stories in the novels themselves. This also makes it easier to give this lifesaving information to a young person without putting them on the spot or having a confrontation.
