He taught high school English before teaching Literature and Creative Writing at his former college from 1963 to 1967. Steiger claimed to have written his first book at age seven. His first book, Ghosts, Ghouls and Other Peculiar People, was published in 1965. He became a full-time writer by 1967. He authored/co-authored almost 170 books, which have sold 17 million copies.
