Steven E. Wedel: An Oklahoma Author

Steven E. Wedel began craving fame and fortune in the literary world when he was in high school. After writing his way through careers as a machinist, journalist, corporate writer, public relations specialist, and now as a high school English teacher, he’s decided to keep writing despite the lack of wealth and notoriety.


Wedel has published over 20 books, mostly in the adult horror genre, but he’s also written for the young adult, children’s, Western, and thriller markets. He’s dabbled in other genres using pseudonyms. His non-fiction writing includes how-to articles for writers, literary criticism, and hundreds of articles for print newspapers and online sites.

In 2004 Wedel earned a master’s degree in liberal studies, creative writing emphasis, from the University of Oklahoma. He earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1999, and graduated from Enid High School in 1984. He is a lifelong Oklahoman, father of four, with three grandsons. He currently lives in Midwest City, Oklahoma, with his dogs Bubba and Bear. He likes to kayak and camp when he doesn’t have papers to grade.

He'd still take the fame and fortune if it comes his way ...

Author Who "Wrote the Book on Oklahoma UFOs" Publishes New Titles.


 One wit noted "she wrote the book on Oklahoma UFOs" when she published the popular, SOONER SAUCERS: OKLAHOMA UFOs 1947-1969 (2020)...now author-researcher Marilyn A. Hudson has added to the field with these works.

"When I began my research into the topic,'" Author and researcher Marilyn A. Hudson notes, " I was frustrated by the lack of cohesive timelines of the events. So many authors and researchers skipped around in sharing events that it all became a bit muddled.  As a result, I built this chronology of some of the significant events, reactions, and influences of this pivotal year in history. It was a resource I wished had been available when I began to deep delve into the subject of UFO/UAP events. A timeline or chronology in history is vital to understanding if specific events really caused events.  Knowing which came first in some of these cases allows truth to float free to the surface and deeper issues to be visualized."


In response to the positive reception of her first book SOONER SAUCERS: Oklahoma UFOs 1947-1969, Hudson was encouraged to keep digging. As a result, in SOONER SAUCERS: volume 2, she has uncovered first-person accounts of things seen and events experienced never before shared with anyone. She has added to the timeline of events seen over Oklahoma skies from the great Airship era to recent years. 


As a resident of the Route 66 Corridor in Oklahoma, Marilyn A. Hudson, has put together, with co-author Cullan Hudson, stories of things seen in the skies along the longest stretches of existing original Mother Road.  Oklahoma's stretch of historic Route 66 dips into the state in the far northeast corner, angles down to the center and then shoots westward along I-40.  Make the trip, read the stories, and keep your eyes on the skies!


Did something happen in a small Kansas town in the 1960's?  Were there things in the skies over the sunflower state? In this short book read the account of one person who thinks she might have encountered the strange in Kansas.  Was she part of an alien "catch-and-release" program? Read and decide. 

All books are available in Kindle on Amazon. Some are in Paperback as well.
