edit data

Steve Moore is a former engineer but hopes you like him anyway. He finished his first novel, A FORTUNE OF REVERSAL, during the Great Time Out of 2020.

After a 40-year career in petroleum reservoir engineering, chronicled in the semi-professional memoir PLUGGED & ABANDONED, he is finally starting to get the hang of the self-actualization thing as a writer of satire and comedy.

He and his wife live in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
