I am your Editor in Chief, Steven Quevedo. I am Mexican-American, from Los Angeles. I consider El Sereno, and the foothill towns of Northeast Los Angeles, my originary home.

More primitively, one side of my family is from Castilla y Leon, Spain– by way of hundreds of years in Mexico. This “Spanish” side includes ethnic Spanish, and a small part African. That African part is itself, of a specific ethnic group from the north.

On both sides of my family, I’m also from indigenous northern Mexico. As a mestizo— because the indigenous-Spanish blend is of the culture of the Mexican North– I descend from the culture known as norteño.

I could write an entire post about my genealogy– not an empty promise, I hope. But, that´s the main deets.

I have a doctorate in Philosophy, and was a Philosophy major with a double minor in Politics and East Asian Studies. I’m a life-long student of the philosophies of Ancient Greece and East Asia, of American, Native American and Mexican cosmologies, and of Europe and North America. These latter two include ethics, romanticism, the German Enlightenment, philosophy “of science,” “of art,” “of religion,” “of comparative religion,” and “of anthropology,” all from a non-reductive perspective. More on that, later.

Information on my current writing projects can be found in Current Projects and News. My primary writing interests are Philosophy, related popular non-fiction, and related fiction in the fantasy/sci-fi/up market fiction hybrid genre. I will keep you posted on these works as they progress.
