Steven Cook was born in Beverley in 1970, son of a Police Inspector and a school secretary. He attended University in nearby Hull, studying Computer Aided Engineering. Upon graduating he began his career in local government where he has worked in Planning, Systems Administration, Project Management and ultimately within IT as a Business Analyst.

Although he has followed a seemingly regular career he has always enjoyed vanishing into other worlds and realities. Reading and role playing in fantasy and science fiction settings filled many a happy hour.

Steven is married to Vicky and lives in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
