even keel: books

Nothing in the background of Colin Taylor, a serious young black singer studying for a career in opera, could have prepared him for meeting and falling in love with Avé Blue, a street-smart single mother whose personal agenda includes revenge upon two notorious police detectives, tried-but exonerated-in the shooting death of Avé's older brother, Tamar, a suspected criminal. In Stephen Burrell's noir novel of inner-city Boston in 1971, incendiary relationships propel the action, and as the settings shift from bedroom to family room to courtroom, the denouement erupts in a cause célèbre that shakes presumptions of guilt and innocence. A story of obsession, self-sacrifice, and ultimate redemption, this novel can speak to any reader imparting something significant and valuable.

About Us

Stephen Burrell

Born in 1957 and raised in Roxbury, Massachusetts, I studied acting at the National Center for Afro-American Artists/Elma Lewis School. I also modeled for Maggie, Inc. out of Boston for many years before moving to Los Angeles in 1990.

In L.A., I was seen right away on TV shows such as: Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, W.I.O.U., and They Came from Outer Space. I returned to school in 1995, where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Telecommunications Technology in 1998.

In the early 2000s I started an audio/video company, even keel productions. Returning to the creative passions in life I began shooting video for local organizations and taking photographs to sell at local Farmer’s Markets and Art Shows. I have authored three novels, Avé Blue, The One Millionth Man and The Ire of Ezra Bishop.

In August of 2011 I moved back east to Springfield, Massachusetts. Having been in the area for just over three years I re-joined Maggie, Inc. and joined Ken Park Talent Management, Citizen Talent and Stewart Talent in New York. I have worked on dozens of projects since returning to the east coast from print ads to television commercials and television shows. Most recently seen in the hit movie, American Fiction and TV shows, Power Book 3 and an upcoming episode of FBI: Most Wanted. My photography has been on exhibit in Springfield, Amherst, Cambridge, Boston and Holyoke, Massachusetts.

I have produced countless videos for clients and recorded and engineered my own audiobook, The Ire of Ezra Bishop, available directly through me.
