About The Author:
Steven Craig Odanovich grew up in Flour Bluff, Texas, only minutes from the beaches of Padre Island. His creative roots are firmly grounded in the muscle car culture of the seventies. As a young music business entrepreneur, Odanovich launched a successful record store at a time when neighborhood record stores were still a prime point of connection between popular music and the public. His genuine affinity for the music and the fans helped Craig's Record Factory build huge customer loyalty, keeping regional and national competition at bay.
Rising to the executive level in the video and home entertainment division of H-E-B, a regional grocery and retail chain, Odanovich led growth for the company in an emerging market space. Later, applying his leadership abilities and insight to other highly competitive business arenas, he built value and increased market share for each of the companies he subsequently served, both in executive posts and as a key consultant.
Through his many stages of career evolution, Odanovich has maintained a constant interest in popular music and film. Three decades of avidly collecting music and seeing movies has provided a wellspring of inspiration for the author. Odanovich currently pursues his writing career in San Antonio, Texas. He and his wife Cathie have four children (Source).

Has anyone noticed the relationship between physical fitness trainers and their clients? How empowering it must be for a sexy female trainer to motivate a man to follow her direction and trust she can make him a better man, physically, if not a better person. It really is an interesting dynamic. The idea for The Black Widow Trainer series came to me in a flash, and then bounced around my cranium until my head became so full it began seeping out onto the written page. (Okay, I used a computer).
Once I began writing, most people I knew were considerate in their comments, but I could tell what they were thinking. Craig has never written before, what makes him think he can be a writer? I was not upset because I would have been thinking the same thing. What people didn’t realize was, as a businessman who has done nothing but build new businesses from scratch since the age of 20, I looked at this endeavor no differently than my business projects. I pictured myself producing a novel, not just writing one.
Here’s how I looked at it: What good would it do me to have a doctorate in mechanical writing if I couldn’t create (weave in this case :) a good plot. I would rather be a great story teller and then hire one of tens of thousands of editors to work on the sentence structure. I’m not sure readers understand how significant a role editors play. I think we would all be surprised to find out exactly how much of a successful writer’s work is improved by quality editing.
So, to sum it up, I was not a writer when I began, but I very much consider myself a writer now. I’m currently putting the finishing touches on the third book and will switch my attention to the recently completed screenplay of TBWT. We are shopping it around Hollywood now. I’m not sure whether it will be picked up as a movie or a cable series yet. It often gets compared to a female version of Californication. Time will tell.
Having the time of my life!
