About me

Gender Male
Occupation Writer
Location Swindon, Wiltshire
Introduction A former expert IT Project Manager, Steve Stone has a number of award-winning developments under his belt. Steve threw off the shackles of computer contracting to become a full-time writer. He waited many years for an opportunity to begin penning his 'Intrepid' series of 4 novels, and matching screenplays. To date, the first 2 novels and 3 screenplays are complete. Steve currently plans to release the 3rd and 4th novels of the series in 2012/13. Because the central characters are exposed to increasingly dangerous and complex challenges, multiple genres are explored; space, war, horror, historical mystery, gangland, disaster, comedy, and the stories consequently appeal as both science fiction and action adventure. So if you are a big budget film producer looking for your next formula fiction smash hit, Steve would love to talk to you about his screenplays! Steve was born in Bristol, England in 1962, and was married to Debi in 1995. He has travelled to many parts of the world, his 3-month tour of New York and Florida with Debi being of particular inspiration to the 'Intrepid' series. Steve has enjoyed a busy life, and has many accomplishments outside of his IT and writing careers.
Interests Full-time writer. Wales and Western England Amateur Poker Champion 2010. 8-ball pool BAPTO World Championship Quarter-Finalist 2002. UK National Trickshot Finalist 2006 and 2007. UK County pool player 1998-2006. 68 tournament wins. Former pool and snooker club owner. Completed Nijmegen 128-mile march in 1991 and 1992 ("just to prove the first time wasn't a fluke"). Expert statistician (business applications of Multiple Regression Analysis and Linear Programming a particular speciality). 24-handicap golfer having struggled around championship courses in Hawaii Florida and San Francisco. Particularly fond memories of Ko Olina (overlooking Pearl Harbour) scoring 99 and watching John Daly throw his clubs in the lake to the left of the glass-like 18th green.
Favorite Movies Total Recall. Wargames. The Terminator series. The Lethal Weapon series (amongst many others). I do have completed feature-length screenplays for my first three novels and would love to see them made into films one day.
Favorite Music Varied in type. Covering several decades. But I do particularly like heavy rock music e.g. Saxon.
Favorite Books I have to say my own don't I? I'm a big fan of the late Colin Forbes (his 'Tweed' series of novels). A little bit of Colin's writing style is spread around my books.
