We’re thrilled to welcome Steven E. Meyer to Main Street Reads for a special signing of his inspiring new memoir, The Sound the Road Makes. Steven was an early member of the Main Street Writes crew, and five years later, his dream to publish this memoir has become a reality!
About the Book
Not only a wayward journey of living life and beating the odds, The Sound the Road Makes is an inspiring venture through the grittiness of being human. It’s a tale of survival in both the wilderness of the great outdoors and the wilderness of the soul.
Misdiagnosed as a child with a nerve condition, Steven grew up trapped inside his own vivid dream world. Outwardly strong and fast, inwardly isolated, he burned through adolescence with rebellion and fire. His life shifted when he discovered writing — and later, a loyal companion: a white puppy named Ghost, who shared fourteen years of open-road adventures.
From wanderers and loners to unexpected romance, Steven’s encounters on the road reflect his own search for belonging. Along the way, he wrestled with faith, purpose, and his own daredevil spirit. The second half of the book reveals how the journey of writing itself became the greatest adventure of all.

Steven E Meyer was born on the road to a teenage, runaway mom. He was raised by his stepfather in Charleston, SC to be a hard worker. But it was a mysterious nerve condition misdiagnosed by doctors, and misunderstood by everyone else, which would define Steven’s life.
His journey toward writing began with his vivid dreamworld, a growing universe within, where the pain and loneliness of his childhood was soothed by his imagination.
After being confined within those walls, he found an escape in his late teens when he discovered the hunger of the blank page. This ignited into a lifetime of pouring out his trapped thoughts and feelings. His writing would help him find a place in the world among people who also struggle, and with those who don’t fit in.
As a young adult, it took a three-month old puppy to do what a childhood of counselors and doctors couldn’t. Steven traveled with his four-legged best friend, dare deviling across the country, ever keeping a step ahead of an otherwise overwhelming condition. As Steven took on nature and worked construction, living harder than the pain warring inside, he crossed paths with wanderers, loners, and misfits like himself.
Steven’s encounter with God awakened him spiritually. Steven continues to live a mostly solitary life, finding those wanderers, loners, and misfits along the way…
