Ill Behavior

Notorious Los Angeles graffiti writer, SOBR, finds himself wanted for a murder he did not commit.

With the help of a childhood friend, an LAPD Magistrate Inquirer, SOBR sets out to clear his graffiti name while haunted by a foretelling of his impending death. Set in a familiar version of LA located somewhere in the multiverse where the United States has become ruled by a king, the people worship the Greek and Roman gods, and society is on the brink of a proletarian revolution, ILL BEHAVIOR is an unorthodox take on LA noir and a modern extension of ancient mythology.

M. Steven S. was born and raised in Santa Ana, California. He moved to Los Angeles to attend college and never left. He’s a graffiti enthusiast, a self-described mediocre guitar player (at best), and a recent disc golf convert (he will absolutely play a round with you). He and his wife live in the middle of LA with their dog and three cats. ILL BEHAVIOR is his first novel, and he’s in the middle of writing his sophomore effort.
