Stephen Jerrome was born in New Zealand but raised in Los Angeles. Minus higher education he has always juggled three creative callings as, essentially, a self-taught writer, photographer and accomplished pianist/composer. He has also maintained a voluminous hand-written journal all his adult life.…almost a fourth calling!

In the mid-1980s through the early 90s, Stephen was a widely-published Hollywood society photographer (not a paparazzi) covering the art and underground club scenes during a particularly transformative time in L.A.’s social history. As a portraitist and documentarian at heart, photography has taken Stephen all over the world.

The London Year is Stephen’s third published novel.

He resides near the coast in Southern California.
