Steven B. Golub is an elementary school principal as well as an adjunct college professor at Dowling College. He has two unbelievably great kids, Scott and Jordana.
He is an avid fan of music, specifically jazz and classic rock. He has played the electric bass for over thirty years.
Some of his favorite authors include Ayn Rand, Ernest Hemingway, Philip Roth, John Updike, Jack Kerouac, David Liss, Stephen King, Richard Wright, and Khaled Hosseini.
One of the notions behind writing these novels, beside the personal desire, was to model the writing process for the students at school.
In this thriller filled with sexual innuendos, politics, betrayal and mayhem, Dr. James McElroy, a thirty-something E.R. doctor, is reminded by a beautiful woman that as a teenager he struck a bargain with the devil and now he is expected to hold up his end. His new life begins with a Fortune 500 company headed by Lucifer. Given Dante’s Inferno as his training manual and a beautiful woman to guide him, McElroy becomes a pawn between god, [Archie, a pipe smoking environmentalist] and the devil. Like puppets on a string, Lucifer and Archie use the human species as playthings for their eternal amusement causing the ultimate hell and heaven until the explosive ending.
You have found yourself in a very dark place – a place within you. You find yourself searching for something. Sometimes you know what it is but can’t quite grasp it and at other times that search leads you on a chase for something that leaves you empty. It is elusive. It evades you and it haunts you. It creeps up on you when you sleep and when you are awake. It permeates your very soul.
What eludes you and what weighs on you is what weighs on all men and women at sometime in their lives. Belief. Faith. Relationships. Hope is a fundamentally empowering and universal word. Things happen for a reason, don’t they? Is there a greater being or a greater spirit, something greater than us? If so, why are the good made to suffer? How do our lives play out with both humor and sadness as we look for our Elusive Thing?
