| Chat with Steven Forman |
Steven Forman was born in the Boston area in 1942, graduated the University of Massachusetts in 1963 and started his own seafood marketing company in 1970. He has always had a passion for writing but did not publish his first book until 2009.He devoted most of his adult life to building a one-man company into an international, multi million-dollar enterprise from the ground floors of Boston's Haymarket square to the grounds of the 
emperor's palace in Tokyo. He has seen small ideas grow into gigantic successes and he has played a part in creating entirely new industries that remain viable and vibrant today.
In 1992, he and his wife, Barbara, traded the cold New England winters for the warmth of Boca Raton, Florida and have been enjoying the best of both worlds since. The unique, contrasting life styles of Boston and Boca inspired him to write "Boca Knights", the book he promised himself to write many years ago. The sequel, "Boca Mournings" is releasing on Feb 2. He and his wife became Florida residents recently but still divide their time between their two favorite cities. His daughter, Jana, settled in Boca with her husband and two beautiful children. His son David
lives in Massachusetts with his wife and son, and their three rescued cats and one rescued dog. Steve has learned that the business and literary worlds have much in common; create a good product, market it to the public and hope consumers buy it repeatedly. The main difference he has experienced between his two careers is the public's perception. Over the years he has sold millions and millions of pounds of seafood but no one has ever asked him to sign a piece of fish. Write a good book, however and suddenly a lot of people want his signature on something besides a check.
