edit data

Steve Pillinger is a linguist, Bible translator and typesetter who has worked in a number of different cross-cultural settings in Africa, the UK and the USA. He loves language, history and maps, which comes through in his books; and he's always delighted to see God’s truth revealed with fresh impact through the eyes of a different culture.
The Mindrulers series is set in the richly-imagined world he created as part of a family role-playing game, while living in Oxfordshire, UK. Now he and his wife have moved to Johannesburg, South Africa, where they continue to support the work of Bible translation. They have two adult children, a son and a daughter.
Steve’s other interests include reading, piano playing and photography. ...more
