About

Stephen Tobias grew up on New York City’s Lower Eastside, roller-skating in Washington Square Park and haunting the second-hand book stores on third avenue. He attended the same high-school as Tony Curtis and Zero Mostel and other’s who thrived on the culture of the city. He temporarily suspended his literary pursuits and has had a satisfying career as a family practice physician in Tacoma, Washington. He has returned to his first passion, fueled and enriched by the exhilarating and confounding human stories that were woven into his medical practice. His first Novel, “Outsider”, was a Nancy Pearl Finalist for best new fiction at the Pacific NW writers conference.

Stephen has always had a flare for the fantastic and the off-beat and a deep soul-searching interest in how we approach the devine and try to make some minimal sense of our place in the vast, centerless, edgeless universe. His latest book, the title borrowed from William James’s seminal work is an exploration of the consequences of taking on of many paths.
