Steven S. Long’s been involved in the gaming industry for twenty years, during which time he’s written, co-written, edited, or developed approximately 200 books and won numerous industry awards. Besides freelancing for lots of RPG companies, such as White Wolf Game Studios and Pinnacle Entertainment Group, he’s held full-time jobs with Last Unicorn Games, Wizards of the Coast, and Decipher. In 2001 he became part owner of DOJ, Inc., the company that bought the assets of Hero Games, and from 2001 to 2011 was the HERO System Line Developer. Currently Steve is back to freelancing and is exploring the brave new world of self-publishing.
 
In addition to various gaming-related projects Steve’s spent the past few years working on Fantasy fiction. He’s had about a dozen short stories published (or soon to be) and keeps insisting he’ll get back to revising his novel any day now. He’s also involved with several other fascinating projects. For example, in mid-2015 Osprey Publishing will release his first major nonfiction work, a book about the Norse god Odin.
 
Steve, who’s single and in his late 40s, lives in scenic Greensboro, NC. He’s a graduate of Duke University and Duke University School of Law (go Blue Devils!). You can find out more about Steve and what he’s up to atwww.stevenslong.com.
