About Unconditional: A Story of Fatherhood, Lost Love, and Lifelong Friendship by Stephen Kogon
One decision could rewrite Matthew’s life—or forever alter a child’s future.
Matthew, an indecisive bachelor and team photographer for the Arizona Cardinals, never imagined parenthood. But when his brother’s sudden death leaves a newborn daughter stranded, he faces an impossible choice: walk away or become a father overnight.
Meeting baby Allie changes everything. The moment he first sets eyes on her, Matthew wants to be her father—and his world, once filled with the thrill of sports and the comfort of close friendships, evolves into something far more profound. With the help of his loyal best friend Sherry, he navigates the challenges of single fatherhood, leaving behind his career and romantic prospects to embrace a life of responsibility and love.
Over eighteen years, this emotionally rich narrative explores themes of parental love, sacrifice, and resilience. As life throws enormous challenges in their path—some forcing Allie to grow up faster than she hoped—their bond only deepens.
When the world tests them, will their unconditional love be enough to guide them through?

Author Bio:
I grew up in Maryland and wrote my first story at 7-years-old—and have been addicted to storytelling ever since. I loved it so much that I considered my pencil to be one of my best friends!
Since then, I’ve written books, screenplays/scripts, comedy sketches, and comic strips—I love it all!
I went to college at UMBC and upon graduation I moved to Los Angeles to work as a writer and filmmaker.
My latest work is the novel UNCONDITIONAL. I spent two years writing it, and it was a labor of love. I also hope to make it my second feature film.
My first film DANCE BABY DANCE was released in 2018. I wrote it, produced it, directed it, and acted in it. I loved every hat I got to wear!
During the pandemic, I started making a web comedy show called GROAD with alums from my movie—Jim O’Heir (Parks and Recreation) and Carlos Alazraqui (Reno 911!). We filmed two table read episodes and then filmed two for real.
Other books I’ve written are a young adult comedic book called “Max Mooth—Cyber Sleuth and the Case of the Zombie Virus” and two children’s books called “Squiglet the Rhyming Piglet” and “Squiglet the Piglet Goes on a Nature Hike”.
I also wrote a book about the Making of My Movie DANCE BABY DANCE, which will help anyone who wants to make their own indie film.
