From the time he was a very young child, Sal Daveno has been infatuated with imaginative stories and fantasy. He constantly practiced his artistic skills by decorating the pages of his favorite books with creative drawings. This eventually inspired him to begin writing his own adventures, which he has been doing since the age of thirteen.

Eventually, Sal showed his cousin (and best friend), Anthon Daveno, all of the illustrations in the stories he loved to read. Anthon was also a fan of fantasy tales, and together they approached another cousin, Faide, to share their passion for these types of books. After some discussion, the three cousins came up with the idea that Sal’s drawings should be used as the basis for writing an imaginative story of their own. They all desired to tell a fast-paced tale, which could transport the reader to strange worlds and non-stop adventure. Thus, A Fantasy Steps Group was born (named for Anthon, Faide, and Sal), and the cousins embarked on their first of many epics. Each cousin is quick to say that The Last Wars of the Jinn is not credited to any one of them individually, but instead it is a collaborative effort, bringing each of their storytelling styles to life.
