Steve Anderson

I’ve been telling stories of one kind or another as long as I could string words together. I was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, and lived all over the United States from Virginia to Wisconsin. I now call the small town of Ottumwa, Iowa home. From my enlistment in the U.S. Navy after high school to managing a bar in my adopted hometown, I’ve held a variety of interesting jobs.

While defending truth, freedom and the American way, I’ve also visited many strange lands, from the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean to Djibouti in Africa . My wife Brenda and I enjoy spending time with friends and our extended family. You can often find me telling stories about my travels, embarrassing situations, and other tall tales where ever I may be. My hobbies include world history, gaming, watching movies, listening to music, reading, and writing (especially science-fiction and fantasy). My favorite authors are Robert A. Heinlein, Piers Anthony, Frank Herbert, and J.R.R. Tolkien, Jack L. Chalker, Orson Scott Card, L. E. Modesitt, Jr. and Jim Butcher.
