Steven McFadden is an award-winning independent journalist, author,
and speaker based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, writing under the
conceptual umbrella of Chiron Communications.

Over four decades, McFadden has walked an uncommon path — equal parts
classical scholarship, indigenous wisdom, and agrarian philosophy. He
has sat in conversation with Harvard professors and Haudenosaunee
elders, Navajo medicine men and Ivy League academics, rabbis and prima
ballerinas. Out of those encounters has come a body of work remarkable
for both its range and its depth.

He is the author of more than fifteen acclaimed nonfiction books,
including Profiles in Wisdom, Legend of the Rainbow Warriors, Native
Knowings, and Deep Agroecology. With Trauger Groh he co-authored Farms
of Tomorrow and Farms of Tomorrow Revisited — the foundational texts of
the Community Supported Agriculture movement in North America.

He is also the author of The Call of the Land: An Agrarian Primer for the
21st Century, and the creator of Odyssey of the 8th Fire, an epic
nonfiction saga of the Americas at 8thfire .net.

Together with his wife Elizabeth Wolf, McFadden is the co-founder of
Soul*Sparks Books, an imprint of Light and Sound Press dedicated to
delivering enduring wisdom in compact, beautifully crafted gift books.
The Soul*Sparks series — Classical Considerations, Tales of the
Whirling Rainbow, Native Knowings, Keys for Adept Aging, A Primer for
Pilgrims, and Awakening Community Intelligence — reflects McFadden's
lifelong conviction that the deepest human insights can be carried
in a small vessel.

His work has been recognized by the New York Times Book Review, Library
Journal, the Washington Times, and numerous other publications. In 2020
he received the National Indie Excellence Award.

McFadden is currently completing Wind Walker, a biography of Naataanii
Leon Secatero, a revered Navajo leader and keeper of ancient wisdom ways.
