Stephen Palmer retired early from a successful, big-firm legal career to focus on writing, public speaking, and serving in his church. Following the successful debut of his first novel, The Unlikely Candidate, Stephen published his second novel, The Unlikely President, in October 2022. The Unlikely President sets forth the foundational arguments for conservative politics and the Christian faith in a fast-paced, page-turning account of a newly elected president battling to enact his campaign promises.

Stephen has a passion for personal finance, and his speaking engagements examine the intersection of Faith, Finance, and Freedom. He has spoken at various marriage retreats and seminars for engaged couples.

At these events, Stephen presents strategies for spending less and saving, investing and giving more, all in an effort to avoid having financial stress become marital stress.

Stephen is originally from Jackson, Mississippi. He holds a degree in Banking and Finance from Mississippi State University and a law degree from Emory University. Stephen and his wife, Jennifer, have been married for over 25 years. They have two daughters and live in Atlanta. The Palmers enjoy travel, greasy spoon restaurants, and Mississippi State sports
