Steve Anderson has been telling stories of one kind or another as long as he could string together coherent thoughts.  He was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, he has traveled around the world, and has lived all over the United States, from Virginia to Wisconsin.  He now calls the small town of Ottumwa, Iowa home.  Steve has had a variety of jobs, from his enlistment in the U.S. Navy after high school, to managing a bar in his adopted hometown.  You can often find him telling stories about his travels, embarrassing situations and other tall tales where ever he may be.  Steve’s hobbies include world history, gaming, watching movies, listening to music, reading, and writing (especially science fiction and fantasy).  His favorite authors include Robert A. Heinlein, Piers Anthony, Frank Herbert, Leo Frankowski, L.E. Modesitt Jr. and J.R.R. Tolkien.
