Steve Elam hails from the Grand Rapids area of Michigan. He joined the US Navy in 1976, serving as a technician specializing in antisubmarine warfare and as a member of a nuclear weapons handling team. After his Navy service, Steve served more than 25 years in various capacities for the House of Representatives and with the lobbying firm of Chiechi & Associates. Steve and his lovely wife of 31 years reside in the Seattle area.

BACKSLIDE is the first book in Elam’s “Enemies Within the Gates” series. The story launches the thrilling exploits of ex-Navy SEAL Billy Ray Jenkins in his war against a ruthless international drug cartel.

After ten years in a Texas prison for a crime he didn't commit, Billy Ray returns home to begin a new life, but is met with tragedy instead––his brother's death. With the help of a cocky FBI agent, a sexy redhead, and a mysterious government operative code-named Dolittle, Billy Ray discovers the enemies within the gates led by a sadistic killer and MUCH more...a super-form of methamphetamine, called Rapture, a drug so terrible millions more could die! Billy Ray must overcome impossible odds and defeat the deadliest threat to ever face our nation! The clock is ticking on America’s doom. Will it be too late?
