Steven Kuehn is a professional archaeologist working in the Midwest and has over thirty years of field and laboratory experience dealing with the identification, excavation, analysis, and interpretation of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites. He specializes in the analysis of faunal (animal) remains and has examined bone and shell from sites across North America. After preparing hundreds of technical reports and scholarly articles, the call of mystery fiction grew irresistible, and Steve began chronicling the adventures of Professor Jacob Caine, archaeologist and reluctant sleuth. One Jake Caine short story, "Talked to Death," was published online in Mysterical-E. Sunken Dreams was the first novel in the Caine series, followed by Ghost Bog. Trapped by Time is the latest novel in the Jake Caine Archaeology Mystery series.
