About
Businessmen are serious people, right? Not always. Steve LeBel — hospital president, technology entrepreneur, algorithmic trader — is definitely not serious.
Not when he writes.
Whimsy overcomes him at the word processor. Whimsy is at the core of his novel, The Universe Builders, which is told with LeBel’s unique balance of seriousness, humor, and whimsy.
Steve lives in Muskegon, Michigan with his wife and two cats. When not writing, he is busy planning his next trip, cursing the stock market, providing tech support for his friends, or thinking up new plots for The Universe Builders.

Story Behind The Book
Many years ago, someone joked that God must have received a C- in Universe Building 101.
It got me thinking...
What if there was a world of gods and goddesses in the business of creating universes? Perhaps they went to school for it and ended up with jobs creating universes. What would they be like?
Wouldn't they have their share of misfits and incompetents? How would all of this affect the universes they built? And how would it affect the creatures who lived in these universes?
And, of course, the ultimate question: What would the god's world be like?
Oh, the creative juices just flow... How can they not when your main characters are gods with the power to create universes?
